EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, created by Dutch artist Jan Brandes in 1788, showcases a remarkable underwater encounter between an Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus), a Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias), and a Remora (Echeneidae). Brandes meticulously captured the intricate details of each creature in his sketchbook, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands. The tuna, a powerful and agile fish, is depicted in close-up, its vibrant scales shimmering with color. Its streamlined body and distinctive dorsal fin are evident, showcasing the fish's impressive ability to swim at great speeds. Beside the tuna, a Great White Shark lies in wait, its menacing jaws open slightly, revealing rows of sharp teeth. The shark's dark, powerful body and distinctive dorsal fin are also clearly visible. The remora, a small, disc-shaped fish with a suction cup on its back, clings to the shark's side. Brandes' skillful use of pencil and paper brings these aquatic creatures to life, providing a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the Atlantic Ocean during the 18th century. The intricate handwriting in the bottom left corner of the page reads "Tuna, Shark, and Remora, 1788" and "Jan Brandes," adding to the historical significance of this remarkable artwork. This drawing is an invaluable addition to the natural history and ichthyology collections of the Rijksmuseum, offering a unique glimpse into the world of the Low Countries' artistic and scientific heritage. The intricate details and lifelike depiction of these creatures continue to captivate viewers and inspire appreciation for the natural world.
