EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of two tropical fish species, Chaetodon Aureus (Pomacanthus arcuatus) and Lookdown Fish (Selen vomer), in a stunning hand-colored engraving from the late 18th century. The yellow hues of the Chaetodon Aureus contrast beautifully against the white background, while the Selen vomer adds an elegant touch with its delicate hand tinting. Created by Ludwig Schmidt, a talented German artist of the 18th century, this artwork is part of Marcus Elieser Bloch's renowned publication "Ichthyologie ou Histoire Naturelle Generale et Particuliere des Poissons". Schmidt's meticulous engravings bring these aquatic creatures to life, capturing their intricate details and vibrant colors. The plate CXCIII depicts both fish species in full length and side view, allowing us to appreciate their unique features. The careful positioning and skillful hand coloring highlight every scale and fin with precision. This print serves as a testament to Schmidt's mastery as an illustrator and engraver. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are reminded of nature's wonders and biodiversity. It is a timeless reminder that even centuries ago, artists like Ludwig Schmidt were captivated by the allure of wildlife. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to cherish this historical masterpiece forevermore.
