EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Whiting fish (Gadus Merlangus), as depicted in plate LXV from Ichthyologie. The artwork is part of Marcus Elieser Bloch's renowned publication, "Ichthyologie, ou histoire naturelle generale et particuliere des poissons" which was published between 1785 and 1799. The colored engraving, skillfully executed by Andreas-Ludwig Kruger, captures every intricate detail of this mesmerizing creature. Its delicate fins gracefully extend from its streamlined body, while its shimmering scales glisten under the light. The Whiting fish, also known as fin or wittling, belongs to the species Merlangius merlangus. Displayed against a neutral background that enhances its natural allure, this print offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of marine life. It serves as a testament to both the artistic talent and scientific curiosity prevalent during Bloch's era. Part of The Stapleton Collection housed in a private collection today, this German masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. As we admire this enchanting engraving by Bridgeman Images without commercial intentions but solely for appreciation purposes; it reminds us of the wonders found within our oceans and encourages us to explore further into their depths.
