EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Lobster moth, also known as Stauropus fagi, in all its intricate beauty. The handcoloured copperplate engraving was skillfully created by Johann Georg Klinger in the 18th century and is part of Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper's renowned work "Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur". The image captures the metamorphosis of this fascinating creature, from its pupa stage to larva and finally to a fully grown caterpillar. The vibrant colors used in the engraving bring out every detail of this mythical beast-like insect. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into a world where reality and mythology intertwine. The Lobster moth appears almost like a fictional character from ancient tales or pagan beliefs. Its presence evokes wonder and awe, reminding us of the rich tapestry of myths that have shaped our understanding of nature throughout history. In this image, we not only witness an extraordinary specimen but also appreciate the artistry behind its depiction. Klinger's masterful technique brings life to each stroke of his engraving tool, creating a visual feast for entomology enthusiasts and art lovers alike. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional piece that allows us to explore both scientific wonders and artistic brilliance through their vast collection.
