EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite plate, titled "Animalia Aqvatilia et Cochiliata (Aqva): Plate LVII," is a stunning example of the artistic mastery of Joris Hoefnagel during the late 16th century. Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist, created this intricately detailed work around 1575/1580, showcasing a diverse array of aquatic and terrestrial creatures. The plate, which is part of a larger series known as "Animalia Aqvatilia et Cochiliata," is a testament to Hoefnagel's exceptional skill in capturing the natural world with remarkable accuracy and beauty. The plate features a backswimmer and various species of fish and fishes swimming in a vibrant, colorful underwater scene. In the foreground, a water beetle and its larvae are depicted with equal precision and detail. The artwork is executed in watercolor and gouache on vellum, with an ornate gold oval border. This masterpiece is a prime example of the European natural history tradition of the time, which aimed to document and illustrate the natural world for scientific and artistic purposes. Today, this precious work of art is part of the esteemed collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. It serves as a reminder of the rich artistic and scientific heritage of the past and the enduring beauty of the natural world.
