EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable natural history board featuring two iconic fish species: the herring (1) and the sardine (2). Created by Marc Elieser Bloch in 1787, this exquisite piece of ichthyology art is a testament to the artist's keen eye for detail and scientific accuracy. The intricate engraving depicts these marine creatures with utmost precision, capturing their unique characteristics and anatomical features. The herring, known for its slender body and silver scales, swims gracefully alongside the sardine, which boasts a more elongated shape and vibrant coloration. Both fish are presented against a backdrop that evokes their natural habitat, transporting viewers into an underwater world teeming with life. This historical artwork holds immense value not only as an aesthetic masterpiece but also as a valuable source of knowledge about these fascinating creatures. It serves as a reminder of our deep connection to nature and highlights the importance of preserving biodiversity. Preserved in private collection, this extraordinary piece has stood the test of time since its creation in the 18th century. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate audiences today, thanks to Giancarlo Costa's dedication to sharing such treasures from our artistic heritage. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are reminded of both the fragility and resilience of our planet's wildlife – urging us all to appreciate and protect it for generations to come.
