EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Johann Carl Bock after Eugenius Johann Christoph Espers' Die Schmetterlinge in Abbildungen nach der Natur, published in Erlangen in 1786, showcases two stunning Underwing moths, the Catocala pacta and Catocala coniuncta. The intricate details of their delicate wings, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colours, are captured with remarkable precision. The presence of these moths in this artwork is not merely a representation of natural beauty, but also a reflection of the artistic and scientific interests of the time. During the Renaissance period in Paris, the arts and sciences were closely intertwined, with many scholars and artists exploring the natural world around them. The title of this work, "Underwing moths," refers to the unique way these moths fold their wings when at rest, revealing intricate patterns that resemble the undersides of other insects. The Catocala pacta and Catocala coniuncta are often found in Europe and Asia, and are known for their striking appearance. The handcoloured lithograph also features a series of intriguing vignettes in the background, which add an element of whimsy and theatricality to the artwork. A group of women, dressed in elegant French operetta costumes, are depicted in various stages of performance – singing, dancing, and even playing the martinet. One woman, dressed as an actress, holds a star, while another, dressed as a soprano, is depicted in the midst of a passionate performance. The presence of these women, along with the moths, adds an additional layer of meaning to the artwork. It is a reminder of the interconnectedness of art, science, and nature during the Renaissance period, and the fascination with the natural world that inspired artists and scholars alike.
