EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured engraving titled "Skulls" by the German School in the 19th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, depicts various skulls including those of humans and monkeys. Illustrated by Carl Johann Georg Reuss, this piece was originally featured in "Die Säugethiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen" published between 1774 and 1855 by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber. The image explores the concept of human and animal anatomy through intricate engravings that highlight both similarities and differences between species. It delves into themes of evolution, identity, and our place within the natural world. The artist's attention to detail is evident as each skull is meticulously rendered with vibrant colours. "Menschenschädel, Affenschädel" juxtaposes human skulls with monkey skulls, inviting viewers to contemplate our shared ancestry while acknowledging the distinct characteristics that define us as individuals. This thought-provoking illustration challenges conventional notions of hierarchy and prompts reflection on our interconnectedness with other creatures. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this historical artwork from Fine Art Finder's extensive collection. Through their lens, we are transported back in time to appreciate this remarkable engraving that continues to captivate audiences today.
