EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving of a Hippopotamus takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the incredible artistry and attention to detail of the German School. The print, part of a private collection, is an exquisite representation of this majestic creature. Illustrated by Jacques de Seve and engraved by Johann Carl Bock, this artwork was featured in "A Die Säugetiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen" published between 1774 and 1855 by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber. This comprehensive publication aimed to depict animals from nature with accurate descriptions. The image portrays a Hippopotamus amphibius, commonly known as a Nile or river hippo. Its lifelike depiction allows us to appreciate its massive size, powerful body structure, and unique features such as its barrel-shaped torso and large mouth filled with formidable teeth. This engraving not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also provides valuable insights into natural history. It showcases the meticulous observation skills of both artist and engraver while offering viewers an opportunity to explore the world of these fascinating creatures. Thanks to ePurix Verlag Volker Christen's efforts in making this print available through Fine Art Finder, we can now admire this historical masterpiece that captures the essence of hippos in all their glory.
