EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Dover Sole (Solea Solaea) plate XLV from Ichthyologie. The image, taken from Marcus Elieser Bloch's renowned work on fish, depicts the intricate details of this marine creature in stunning clarity. Engraved by Gabriel Bodenehr and published between 1785-99, this coloured engraving is a testament to the meticulous artistry and scientific curiosity of its time. The cross-section view allows us to marvel at the unique anatomy of the pleuronectes solea, commonly known as Dover Sole. The delicate lines and shading bring life to every scale and fin, while maintaining an air of scientific precision. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into the depths of the sea where saltwater creatures like la sole thrive. The image not only serves as a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into marine biology. It reminds us that our oceans hold countless wonders waiting to be discovered and understood. Preserved within a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this German masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless appeal. Its presence evokes a sense of awe for both nature's complexity and humanity's ability to capture it through art. As we admire this remarkable engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate the intersection between science and art that has allowed us to explore and appreciate Earth's diverse ecosystems throughout history.
