EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the intricate beauty of Red coral, Corallium rubrum, and organ pipe coral, Tubipora musica. Drawn and engraved by Georg Wolfgang Knorr in 1771, this print is a true masterpiece from his own Deliciae Naturae Selectae collection. The delicate details of these specimens are brought to life through Knorr's skilled hand, showcasing the vibrant red hues and unique shapes of each coral.
Displayed in a Wunderkammer or Cabinet of Curiosities owned by Dr. Christoph Jacob Trew in Nuremberg, these corals would have been treasured as rare and exotic wonders of the natural world. The contrast between the branching structure of the organ pipe coral and the smooth branches of the Red coral creates a visually striking composition that captivates viewers.
As you gaze upon this print, you can almost feel yourself transported back in time to an era when exploration and discovery were at the forefront of scientific inquiry. The meticulous attention to detail in Knorr's engravings serves as a reminder of the endless fascination that nature holds for us all. This piece is not just a work of art; it is a testament to the enduring allure of our planet's diverse ecosystems.
