EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Oribi" transports us back to the 19th century with its exquisite detail and vibrant hues. The artwork is part of a private collection and showcases the talent of the German School during that era. Engraved by Johann Carl Bock, this print originates from a renowned publication called "Die Säugetiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit Beschreibungen" (The Mammals in Illustrations According to Nature with Descriptions). Published between 1774 and 1855 by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber, this work aimed to provide an accurate depiction of various animal species. In this particular engraving, we are introduced to the Oribi, a graceful antelope species native to Africa. Its slender frame and delicate features are beautifully captured through intricate lines and shading techniques. The artist's attention to detail brings out every nuance of the creature's anatomy while showcasing its natural beauty. Bleichböckchen, as it is known in German, or Antilope scoparia in scientific terms, holds a significant place within natural history illustrations. This piece serves as both an educational tool for studying mammals and an artistic masterpiece that celebrates nature's diversity. Thanks to Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images' extensive collection, we can now appreciate this remarkable print once again. It reminds us of our connection with wildlife throughout history while highlighting the skillful craftsmanship behind such timeless works of art.
