EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of marine life, featuring four different species of worms. In the foreground, we are mesmerized by the elegant presence of a Fan worm, scientifically known as Serpula vermicularis (1). Its delicate and feathery tentacles gracefully sway in the water, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. Moving towards the center of the image, our attention is drawn to a polychaete worm called Spirorbis corrugatus (2). This tube-building annelid worm displays an impressive spiral-shaped structure that serves as its protective home. The intricate patterns on its body add to its allure. Next in line is Spirobranchus triqueter (3), another tube-building annelid worm that captivates us with its unique triangular shape. Its vibrant colors and symmetrical design make it truly eye-catching. Lastly, we have Galeolaria caespitosa (4), which stands out with its distinctive basket-like appearance. The complex network of tubes created by this species adds depth and texture to the composition. This stunning artwork was created in the 19th century by Corsi under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin – one of France's most renowned botanical illustrators at that time. Through their collaboration, they successfully captured not only the scientific accuracy but also the artistic elegance present in these fascinating creatures from beneath our oceans' depths.
