EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ocean Sunfish, 1863-79" takes us back in time to the late 19th century. Created by Raimundo Petraroja, a talented artist of that era, this colour lithograph showcases the remarkable beauty and unique features of an ocean sunfish. The image is part of the renowned work called "Popular Zoological Atlas" compiled from the most recent zoology works by Italian and foreign experts. Published between 1863 and 1879 by Giovanni Boschi, this atlas aimed to provide comprehensive knowledge about various animal species. In this particular illustration, we are introduced to Mola mola - commonly known as an ocean sunfish. The artist's attention to detail brings out its distinct characteristics: a large round body with vibrant colors blending into one another. Its fins resemble wings gracefully gliding through water currents. As we admire this artwork, it reminds us of the vast diversity present in our oceans. The ocean sunfish stands as a testament to nature's ability to create extraordinary creatures that captivate our imagination. Preserved in a private collection and made available for public appreciation through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind it but also serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with marine life throughout history.
