EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the beauty of a Cetoine doree, or Rose beetle, perched delicately on a vibrant tulip. The intricate details of the insect's iridescent green and gold exoskeleton are brought to life by the skilled hand of Jacob l'Admiral in this 18th century illustration.
Originally featured in "Naauwkeurige Waarneemingen omtrent de veranderingen van veele Insekten" (Accurate Descriptions of the Metamorphoses of Insects) by J. Sluyter in Amsterdam in 1774, this print is a testament to the scientific curiosity and artistic talent of the era. M. Houttuyn later added eight more plates to this second edition, further enriching our understanding and appreciation for these fascinating creatures.
As you gaze upon this stunning image, you can almost imagine the gentle buzz of wings as the Rose beetle flits from flower to flower, spreading its delicate charm throughout nature's garden. It serves as a reminder that even the smallest creatures play an important role in our ecosystem and deserve our admiration.
Let this print serve as a window into a bygone era when art and science intertwined to illuminate the wonders of the natural world.
