EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the intricate metamorphosis of the Cinnabar moth, Tyria jacobaeae, as it transitions from larva to pupa on a ragwort plant, Jacobaea vulgaris. The delicate details of the drop of blood (or scalp of senecon, tyria, carmine) on the plant add a touch of vivid color to this scientific illustration.
Created by Jacob l'Admiral for Naauwkeurige Waarneemingen omtrent de veranderingen van veele Insekten (Accurate Descriptions of Insect Metamorphoses) in 1774, this engraving showcases the beauty and complexity of nature's processes. The St. Jans beestje (Cinnabar moth) is depicted with precision and artistry, highlighting its unique characteristics and life cycle.
As part of a second edition with additional plates by M. Houttuyn, this print exemplifies the dedication to accuracy and detail in scientific illustration during the 18th century. Each element in the composition is meticulously rendered to provide a comprehensive understanding of insect metamorphosis.
Whether admired for its artistic merit or studied for its scientific value, this print offers a glimpse into the natural world and invites viewers to appreciate the wonders of entomology. It serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness between all living beings and encourages us to marvel at the beauty found in even the smallest creatures.
