EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of two marine species - the Cod fish (Gadus morhua, Baccala 1) and the Whiting (Merlangius merlangus, Merlango comune 2). The handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving, created by Corsi in the 19th century, is a true work of art that captures the essence of these remarkable creatures. The Cod fish, with its sleek body and distinctive coloring, commands attention as it gracefully swims through the depths of the ocean. Its scales shimmer with an iridescent glow under the gentle touch of color added by Corsi's skilled hand. Meanwhile, nearby floats a Whiting - a creature known for its slender shape and silvery-white hue. Together they create a harmonious scene that celebrates nature's diversity. This stunning illustration was part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's renowned "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali" or "Dictionary of Natural Science". Published in Florence in 1837 by Batelli e Figli, this masterpiece brought together scientific knowledge and artistic talent to educate and inspire generations about our natural world. The collaboration between Jean Gabriel Pretreatment's meticulous drawing skills and Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's expert direction resulted in an illustration that stands as a testament to their mastery. Turpin himself is hailed as one of France's greatest botanical illustrators from this era. As we gaze upon this enchanting image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded once again of nature's boundless wonders and humbled by humanity’s ongoing quest to understand them better.
