EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Shrew, 1863-79" takes us back in time to the late 19th century when natural history illustrations were highly valued. Created by Raimundo Petraroja, a talented artist who flourished during this period, the lithograph showcases his mastery of color and detail. The image is part of "A Atlante zoologico popolare" a popular zoological atlas compiled from the most recent works of Italian and foreign zoology. Published between 1863 and 1879 by Giovanni Boschi, this comprehensive collection aimed to educate readers about various animal species. In this particular illustration, we are introduced to a shrew - an intriguing creature known for its small size and remarkable agility. The lithograph beautifully captures the shrew's delicate features with intricate precision. Its fur appears soft and textured while its tiny eyes exude curiosity. Displayed against a neutral background, the shrew stands out as the focal point of attention. This composition allows viewers to appreciate every minute detail meticulously rendered by Petraroja's skilled hand. Preserved in a private collection today, this artwork continues to fascinate enthusiasts interested in both art and natural history. Through this timeless print, we can admire not only the beauty of nature but also the artistic talent that brought it to life over a century ago.
