Examples of Siphonophorae from Kunstformen der Natur, 1899 (colour litho)
746699 Examples of Siphonophorae from Kunstformen der Natur, 1899 (colour litho) by Haeckel, Ernst (1824-1919) (after); Private Collection; (add.info.: Siphonophorae or Siphonophora, are an order of the Hydrozoa, a class of marine invertebrates belonging to the phylum Cnidaria. Although a Siphonophore appears to be a single organism, each specimen is actually a colony composed of many individual animals.
Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (1834 -1919) was a German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor and artist who discovered, described and named thousands of new species, mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms, and coined many terms in biology, including anthropogeny, ecology, phylum, phylogeny, stem cell, and the kingdom Protista.); Prismatic Pictures

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing array of Siphonophorae, taken from Ernst Haeckel's renowned work "Kunstformen der Natur" in 1899. These vibrant and intricate organisms belong to the order of Hydrozoa, a class of marine invertebrates found within the phylum Cnidaria. Despite their appearance as single entities, each Siphonophore is actually an aggregation of numerous individual animals forming a colony. Ernst Haeckel, a multifaceted German biologist and artist, was not only known for his groundbreaking scientific contributions but also for his exquisite illustrations. His meticulous attention to detail and artistic flair are evident in this colorful lithograph. Through his work, Haeckel aimed to define and classify various species using hierarchical taxonomic systems. The composition of this print highlights the symmetries and groupings present among these delicate specimens. The bold colors and intricate patterns bring forth both the beauty and complexity of these oceanic creatures. This artwork serves as a testament to Haeckel's significant role in bridging art with biology. Displayed against a vertical backdrop, these illustrations provide viewers with an opportunity to appreciate the diversity that exists within our oceans. They remind us that even seemingly small organisms can possess extraordinary intricacies worth exploring. With its rich hues, detailed forms, and scientific significance, this print offers an engaging glimpse into the world of Siphonophorae while honoring Ernst Haeckel's lasting legacy as both scientist and artist.
