EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Black grouper, scientifically known as Mycteroperca bonaci. Captured by Stanghi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true masterpiece of art and science. The image portrays the intricate details of this remarkable marine creature, highlighting its stunning black scales and powerful physique. The artist's skillful use of color brings life to every stroke, making it seem as if the fish could swim right off the page. Published in Florence, Italy in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), this illustration is a testament to Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's exceptional talent as one of France's greatest botanical illustrators during that era. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into the world beneath the waves where these magnificent creatures reside. With its wide-set eyes and strong jawline, the Black grouper exudes an air of authority and wisdom. This artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into ichthyology –the study of fish– for those interested in natural history. It reminds us once again how diverse and awe-inspiring our planet's wildlife truly is. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary piece from Fine Art Finder collection for all to admire and appreciate nature's wonders through art.
