EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of two unique aquatic creatures - the River puncture (Lampetra fluviatilis) and the sea eel (Congridae). The image, titled "River puncture Lampetra fluviatilis sea eel Congridae" is part of a larger collection of drawings commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II around 1600. The print captures the intricate details and vibrant colors of these fascinating creatures. The river puncture, also known as lampreij or lamprey, is depicted in all its glory with its distinctive nine eyes. Its slender body gracefully glides through the water, showcasing its elegant form. On the other hand, the sea eel, referred to as Anguilla Marina or anguille de mer in different languages, exudes an aura of mystery with its long and sinuous body. The artist behind this masterpiece is Anselmus Boetius de Boodt who skillfully used various mediums such as paper, pencil, chalk, watercolor paint, deck paint, and brush to bring these creatures to life on a canvas measuring 145 mm in height and 189 mm in width. Accompanied by explanations in Dutch Latin and French languages, this print not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into these species for enthusiasts and researchers alike. It stands as a testament to both nature's wonders and human creativity captured during that era.
