EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the exquisite beauty of four moth species: Catocala hymenaea, Amerila puella, Isturgia famula moths. Created by Johann Carl Bock after Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper's renowned work "Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur" this print is a true testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of 18th-century entomology illustrations. The delicate details captured in this artwork allow us to marvel at the intricate patterns and vibrant colors displayed by these nocturnal creatures. Each moth is meticulously depicted, from their pupal stage to larva and caterpillar forms, representing the fascinating process of metamorphosis that defines their life cycle. Bock's masterful use of color brings these moths to life on paper, highlighting their unique characteristics and making them appear almost three-dimensional. The precision of his engravings allows us to appreciate every minute detail - from the fine lines on their wings to the texture of their bodies. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era when scientific exploration went hand-in-hand with artistic expression. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans were captivated by nature's wonders and sought ways to document and understand its diversity. This remarkable piece not only celebrates the beauty of these particular moth species but also pays homage to the skill and dedication required for such meticulous scientific illustration. It stands as a testament to both artistry and scientific inquiry - two realms that converge harmoniously within this stunning engraving.
