EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving captures the beauty of two iconic European animals - the wild goat, Capra aegagrus, and the mouflon of Corsica, Ovis aries orientalis. The intricate details in this illustration bring these farm animals to life, showcasing their unique features and characteristics.
The young goat stands proudly next to the majestic ram, both representing the rich agricultural heritage of Corsica and France. The artist behind this masterpiece, Jean Gabriel Pretre, was known for his exquisite paintings of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo. His attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving.
Accompanied by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin's direction and Cignozzi's skilled engraving, this piece is a true work of art that transports us back to 1837 Florence, Italy. Turpin himself was considered one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time, adding another layer of expertise to this already impressive composition.
As we admire this illustration today, we are reminded of the importance of preserving these beautiful creatures and their habitats. The wild goat and mouflon serve as symbols not only of Europe's natural diversity but also as reminders that conservation efforts are crucial in protecting our planet's precious wildlife.
