EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the beauty and diversity of three different species of flatfish: the Common or European flounder, Plaice, and dab. Each fish is meticulously detailed, showcasing their unique markings and characteristics.
The artist, Gottlieb Tobias Wilhelm, was not only a Bavarian clergyman but also a renowned naturalist often referred to as the German Buffon. His passion for capturing the wonders of nature is evident in this exquisite print from his Encyclopedia of Natural History.
The Common flounder (Pleuronectes platessa), with its distinctive diamond-shaped body and mottled coloring, stands out against the backdrop of the page. The Platichthys flesus flounder displays its smooth skin and elongated shape, while the Limanda limanda dab showcases its smaller size and delicate fins.
As you gaze upon this artwork, you can't help but be transported back to 1804 when this piece was created in Augsburg. The attention to detail and vibrant colors bring these sea creatures to life on paper, making them appear almost lifelike.
Whether you're a lover of marine life or simply appreciate fine artistry, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and inspire awe for the wonders of our natural world.
