EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing encounter between a Tiger shark (Carcharias) and a scorpion fish (Scorpaenidae). The image, titled "Tiger Shark Carcharias Scorpion Fish Scorpaenidae" is part of the sixth album with drawings of fish, shells, and insects. Commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II around 1600, this collection of twelve albums captures animals, birds, and plants known during that era. The intricate details depicted in this artwork highlight the beauty and danger coexisting within the underwater realm. The Tiger shark's powerful presence dominates the scene as it gracefully glides through the water. Its sleek body contrasts against the vibrant colors of its surroundings. In contrast to the imposing shark, nestled among coral formations lies a scorpion fish. With its venomous spines camouflaged amidst its textured skin, this creature exemplifies nature's ability to protect itself from predators. Anselmus Boetius de Boodt masterfully captured these marine creatures using various artistic techniques such as pencil sketches, chalk outlines, watercolor washes, and pen detailing. Accompanied by explanations in Dutch, Latin, and French languages on this paper medium measuring 83mm high by 188mm wide; his work provides valuable insight into cartilaginous fishes like sharks. This print from Liszt Collection serves as a visual testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression during an era when curiosity about our natural world was at its peak.
