EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting beauty of two unique and elusive creatures - the Eastern quoll and water opossum. Captured by Corsi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true masterpiece that brings these fascinating animals to life. The Eastern quoll, scientifically known as Dasyurus viverrinus, stands proudly beside its companion, the water opossum or yapok (Chironectes minimus). These mammals are depicted with intricate detail and vibrant colors, thanks to the skillful artistry of Jean Gabriel Pretre and Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Published in Florence, Italy in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dictionary of Natural Science, this illustration holds immense historical value. It offers us a glimpse into the world of science and natural history during that era. Corsi's work truly captures the essence of these remarkable creatures. The Eastern quoll with its distinctive spotted fur exudes an air of elegance while standing next to its aquatic counterpart - the water opossum. Their contrasting appearances highlight their individuality within the animal kingdom. As we admire this exquisite print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can't help but appreciate both nature's diversity and humanity's artistic talent. This image serves as a reminder that our world is filled with countless wonders waiting to be discovered and celebrated for generations to come.
