EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of four butterfly species: Merveille du jour, Dichonia aprilina 1-4, scarce merveille du jour, Moma alpium 5-7, and marbled green, Cryphia muralis 8. Handcoloured by Johann Carl Bock after Eugenius Johann Christoph Esper's original copperplate engraving from "Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur" (1786), this artwork transports us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century entomology. Each delicate wing is meticulously depicted with vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The Merveille du jour butterflies exude an air of rarity and elegance with their striking markings and graceful flight. Meanwhile, the Marbled Green butterfly captivates with its unique blend of greens and browns that mimic nature's camouflage. The artist's attention to detail extends beyond the butterflies themselves; we also catch a glimpse into their life cycle. From pupa to larva to caterpillar, this print reminds us of the miraculous metamorphosis these insects undergo. Johann Carl Bock's masterful handcoloring technique brings these creatures to life on paper. His skillful use of color adds depth and dimension to each specimen while preserving their natural allure. Whether you are an avid collector or simply appreciate the wonders of wildlife, this stunning print is sure to captivate your imagination. It serves as a timeless reminder of nature's artistry and our enduring fascination with its delicate inhabitants.
