EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning array of jellyfish species, beautifully captured by Corsi in the 19th century. The image features three distinct types of jellyfish: Favonia octonema, Lymnorea triedra, and the stinging jellyfish Cyanea labiche. Each specimen is meticulously handcoloured on a copperplate stipple engraving, bringing out their vibrant hues and intricate details. Published in Florence, Italy in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), this illustration is a testament to the scientific exploration and fascination with marine life during that era. The talented artist Jean Gabriel Pretre skillfully drew these creatures under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the most esteemed French botanical illustrators of his time. The composition not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also contributes to our understanding of these mesmerizing creatures. Jellyfish have long fascinated scientists and nature enthusiasts alike due to their ethereal beauty and mysterious nature. This print allows us to appreciate their delicate forms while providing valuable insights into their classification within the natural world. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem from Fine Art Finder's collection for all to admire—a reminder that art can transcend time and connect us with past discoveries in science and natural history.
