EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Naked-eye Medusa and Crystal Jelly," is an exquisite illustration from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali," published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. The illustration, which measures approximately 11 x 14 inches, was engraved by Corsi, drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre, and directed by the renowned French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. The illustration features two distinct jellyfish species: the Naked-eye Medusa, Berenix euchroma (depicted as the larger jellyfish with a helmet-shaped bell and trailing tentacles), and the Crystal Jelly, Aequorea cyanea (shown as the smaller, more translucent jellyfish with delicate, trailing tendrils). Turpin, considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of the 19th century, meticulously captured the intricate details of these marine organisms, showcasing their unique structures and vibrant colors. The Naked-eye Medusa, also known as the Periphylla, Phorcynia, or Cudonoidea, is a type of jellyfish that possesses a distinctive bell shape and a large number of tentacles. The Crystal Jelly, also known as the Eulimene, Cyclophylla, Caribean Perifilla, Forcinia, or Cyclofilla, is characterized by its translucent bell and delicate, trailing tendrils. This beautiful and historically significant illustration offers a glimpse into the natural world of the early 19th century, providing a fascinating record of these captivating marine creatures. The intricate details and vibrant colors captured in this hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving continue to captivate and inspire viewers today.
