The artwork showcases the mesmerizing Velella velella, also known as the sea raft or by-the-wind sailor. This hydrozoan species is renowned for its striking purple sail that gracefully glides across the ocean's surface. The handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving captures every intricate detail of this delicate creature. Created by esteemed French botanical illustrator Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin and published in Florence in 1837, it exemplifies his exceptional talent and contribution to natural history illustration. Velella larga and Velella bislunga are two variations depicted within this masterpiece. Their ethereal presence evokes a sense of wonderment and curiosity about our vast oceans' hidden treasures. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost feel the gentle sea breeze caressing our faces while witnessing these magnificent creatures navigate their way through endless waves. Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dictionary of Natural Science serves as a valuable source for scientific knowledge and exploration.
