EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of two marine creatures, the Largehead hairtail and the zebra moray eel. Created by Corsi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true masterpiece of botanical illustration. The Largehead hairtail, also known as ceinture de mer or Trichiurus lepturus, gracefully glides through the water with its elongated body and distinctive large head. Its sleek form and intricate details are captured flawlessly in this artwork. Beside it, we find the mesmerizing zebra moray eel, scientifically named gymnomurene cerclee or Gymnomuraena zebra. With its striking black-and-white striped pattern and sinuous shape, this creature exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. Drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre under Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's direction and engraved by Joyeau, this illustration reflects their immense talent and attention to detail. Published by Batelli e Figli in Florence in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dictionary of Natural Science (Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali), it stands as a testament to both scientific accuracy and artistic finesse. Turpin himself is hailed as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. His ability to capture nature's wonders on paper is evident in every stroke he made for this enchanting piece. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only these fascinating marine species but also the skillful artistry that brings them to life before our eyes.
