EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of two fascinating marine creatures - the Indo-Pacific sailfish and the moonfish. The image, captured by Corsi in the 19th century, is a handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's "Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali" (Dictionary of Natural Science). In this artwork, we witness the graceful presence of an Indo-Pacific sailfish, scientifically known as Istiophorus platypterus. With its vibrant colors and impressive dorsal fin resembling a sail, this magnificent creature glides through the ocean with unparalleled elegance. Accompanying it is a moonfish, also known as Mene maculata or Zeus maculatus. This species captivates us with its unique shape and striking patterns. The collaboration between Corsi's artistic vision and Jean Gabriel Pretre's detailed drawing brings these marine wonders to life on paper. Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's direction ensures that every intricate detail is accurately portrayed. Published by Batelli e Figli in Florence, Italy in 1837, this illustration holds historical significance for both art enthusiasts and natural science enthusiasts alike. Turpin himself is celebrated as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. Through this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are transported into a world where science meets artistry to celebrate the awe-inspiring diversity found within our oceans' depths.
