EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of two marine creatures, the Forkbeard and the Fivebeard Rockling. The image, captured by Corsi in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science). The Forkbeard, scientifically known as Phycis phycis 1, is depicted with its distinct forked beard and mesmerizing patterns on its body. Its elegant presence in this artwork truly captures the essence of this species. Accompanying it is the Fivebeard Rockling or Ciliata mustela, also known as Mustela comune or Merluzzo barbuto. This creature exhibits unique features with five distinctive beards that add to its charm. The illustration was expertly engraved by Corsi under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin and drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre. Turpin himself is renowned as one of France's greatest botanical illustrators during the 19th century. Published by Batelli e Figli in Florence, Italy in 1837, this piece represents a significant contribution to natural history and ichthyology studies. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable artwork for us to admire today through their Fine Art Finder collection. It serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic excellence combined into one stunning visual representation of these fascinating marine animals.
