"Exploring the Mysterious World of Thon: From Artists to Fishermen" Step into the captivating world of "thon, " where history intertwines with art and nature. In the 1840s, artists Carlo Rossi, Alexander Rezanov, and Lakhtin found themselves in a thrilling game of hide-and-seek with Konstantin Thon. The enigmatic Benois captured this moment in his artwork, leaving us intrigued by their escapades. Meanwhile, another scene unfolds near Moscow as a group indulges in a delightful picnic. Benois once again transports us back to the 1840s, allowing us to witness this charming gathering amidst picturesque surroundings. Le Vocabulaire Illustre enlightens us about "thon" or tunny fish through an exquisite engraving. Joseph Vernet's painting from 18th century Paris takes us on an adventurous tuna fishing expedition - a testament to humanity's age-old connection with these majestic creatures. Ichthyologie presents plate LV showcasing Scomber Thynnus (tuna) alongside other fascinating edible fish species like narrow-barred Spanish mackerel and torpedo scad. A lithograph illustration from c. 1923 further entices our taste buds with its depiction of delectable seafood. Intriguingly, we encounter a magnificent whale shark escorted by bonito - an awe-inspiring sight that reminds us of the diverse marine life inhabiting our oceans. The synergy between tuna shoals and whale sharks is truly mesmerizing; it speaks volumes about the delicate balance within aquatic ecosystems. Shifting gears from nature to architecture, we find ourselves admiring Thon's artistic prowess beyond his involvement in playful pursuits. His masterpiece includes The To-my-Dear-Comrades-in-Arms Gate at Tsarskoye Selo - a testament to his skillful craftsmanship that has stood the test of time since its creation in 1822. However, not all structures are destined to last forever.
