EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Common Octopus, 1863-79" captures the essence of marine beauty and intrigue. Created by Raimundo Petraroja, a renowned artist from the late 19th century, this colour lithograph is a true masterpiece that showcases his exceptional talent. The image portrays an exquisite illustration of the Gewöhnlicher Krake, also known as Octopus vulgaris. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every intricate feature of this fascinating creature has been meticulously captured. From its mesmerizing tentacles to its expressive eyes, each element comes alive on paper. Published in Giovanni Boschi's "Popular Zoological Atlas" this artwork was part of a compilation that aimed to bring together the most recent works on zoology from both Italian and foreign sources. It serves as a testament to the scientific curiosity prevalent during that era. Displayed against a simple background, the Common Octopus takes center stage in all its glory. This print not only appeals to art enthusiasts but also enthralls those with an interest in marine life and natural history. Now preserved within a private collection, this piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of the wonders that lie beneath our oceans' depths and how art can beautifully bridge science and aesthetics for generations to come.
