EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of three fascinating marine creatures: the Great argonaut, cuttlefish, and flying squid. Created in the 19th century by Corsi, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true masterpiece. In this illustration, we are transported to an underwater world filled with vibrant colors and intricate details. The Great argonaut (Argonauta argo) takes center stage with its delicate shell and graceful tentacles. Next to it, the cuttlefish (Sepia tuberculata) exhibits its remarkable ability to change color and blend into its surroundings. Lastly, we have the European flying squid (Todarodes sagittatus), soaring through the water with elegance and agility. The collaboration between Jean Gabriel Pretre's artistic vision and Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's direction brings these creatures to life on paper. Their expertise in botanical illustration shines through as they capture every nuance of these marine organisms. Published by Batelli e Figli in Florence, Italy in 1837 as part of Jussieus Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), this print offers a glimpse into both scientific exploration and artistic expression during that era. Whether you are a lover of nature or simply appreciate fine art, this print is sure to captivate your imagination. It serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity found within our oceans and invites us to marvel at their wonders for generations to come.
