Konrad Lorenz, caricature
Konrad Lorenz (1903-1989). Caricature of the Nobel Prize-winning Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz being followed by a duckling. Lorenz studied medicine in Vienna before changing to zoology. His first discovery as a scientist occurred when he was given a one-day-old duckling that followed him around as if he were its mother. Together with the Dutch zoologist Niko Tinbergen, he founded a branch of animal behaviour called ethology, based on observing the instinctive behaviour of animals in the wild. They shared the 1973 Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine with Karl von Frisch

EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white caricature print depicts the renowned Austrian zoologist, Konrad Lorenz (1903-1989), accompanied by a loyal duckling. The image beautifully captures the essence of Lorenz's groundbreaking work in ethology, a branch of animal behavior that he co-founded with Dutch zoologist Niko Tinbergen. Lorenz's scientific journey began during his medical studies in Vienna, where fate intervened when he was entrusted with a one-day-old duckling. Astonishingly, this tiny creature imprinted on him as its mother figure and followed him faithfully. This serendipitous encounter marked his first significant discovery as a scientist and set the stage for his illustrious career. Together with Tinbergen, Lorenz revolutionized our understanding of instinctive behaviors exhibited by animals in their natural habitats. Their pioneering research earned them the prestigious Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1973, which they shared with Karl von Frisch. In this delightful illustration against a pristine white background, we witness Lorenz's charismatic presence alongside his feathered companion. It serves as an enduring symbol of their profound bond and showcases the intricate interplay between humans and animals. As we delve into this monochromatic masterpiece from Science Photo Library, we are reminded not only of Lorenz's invaluable contributions to biology but also of the rich history behind scientific exploration itself. This print is an homage to both timeless artistry and intellectual curiosity that continues to shape our understanding of the natural world today.
