EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Chaetodon ocellatus, a marine fish species that existed before 1790. Created by Friedrich August Kruger, this artwork was meticulously painted on paper using watercolors. Measuring 18x35 cm, it is currently housed at Humboldt-Universitaet in Berlin, Germany. The subject of this painting is the Chaeton bimaculatus, commonly known as the "Der zweifleckige Klippfisch" or two-spotted butterflyfish. The artist drew this stunning creature for reproduction in Marcus Elieser Bloch's renowned work "Naturgeschichte der auslaendischen Fische" (Natural History of Foreign Fish), specifically featured in its fourth part published in Berlin in 1790. Intriguingly annotated and showcasing a side profile of the fish, this artwork provides an invaluable study into marine life during that era. The vibrant stripes adorning its body add to its allure and make it a visual delight for animal enthusiasts and art lovers alike. With every brushstroke carefully executed by Kruger's skilled hand, this painting captures not only the physical attributes but also the essence of these magnificent creatures residing beneath our oceans' surface. Preserved through time and now available for public viewing at eHumboldt Innovation in Berlin, this masterpiece serves as a testament to both nature's wonders and human artistic talent.
