EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning watercolor on paper artwork titled "Emys orbicularis, before 1801" by Friedrich Wilhelm Wunder. Measuring 30x22 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Humboldt-Universitaet in Berlin, Germany. The painting was created as a study of the Emys orbicularis species, commonly known as the European pond turtle or European marsh turtle. This remarkable reptile is beautifully captured with intricate details and vibrant colors that bring it to life. Commissioned for Johann David Schoepf's renowned book "Naturgeschichte der Schildkroeten mit Abbildungen erlaeutert Erlangen" this artwork served as plate XXVI in the publication between 1792 and 1801. The book aimed to provide an illustrated natural history of turtles, making this painting an invaluable contribution to scientific knowledge at that time. The image reveals the tortoise from underneath, showcasing its unique shell structure consisting of a plastron (ventral part) and carapace (dorsal part). The artist's skillful brushstrokes capture every detail meticulously, highlighting both the beauty and complexity of these fascinating creatures. Displayed here through Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, this photograph print allows us to appreciate not only Wunder's artistic talent but also serves as a reminder of our rich natural heritage.
