EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant beauty of two mesmerizing marine creatures - the Red lionfish and the Blue blanquillo. The Red lionfish, scientifically known as Pterois volitans or Pteroide volante 1, is a striking creature with its fiery red and white stripes, venomous spines, and flowing fins that resemble wings in flight. Its unique appearance makes it an intriguing subject for both fish enthusiasts and admirers of natural wonders. Accompanying this majestic predator is the elegant Blue blanquillo, also referred to as Taenianotus latovittatus or Tenianoto striata larga 2. This graceful fish boasts a slender body adorned with intricate blue patterns that add a touch of ethereal charm to its presence. The handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieus Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali transports us back to Florence in 1837 when this illustration was published by Batelli e Figli. The talented artist Jean Gabriel Pretre skillfully captured these aquatic marvels under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, one of the most esteemed French botanical illustrators of his time. With its rich colors and meticulous details, this artwork immerses viewers into the world of ichthyology (the study of fish) while celebrating nature's diversity. It serves as a reminder that our planet is home to countless awe-inspiring species waiting to be explored and appreciated.
