EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor painting, titled "Genypterus blacodes" or the pink ling, is a captivating illustration of a little-known fish species discovered during Captain James Cook's second voyage to explore the southern continent between 1772 and 1775. The painting was created by the renowned naturalist Johann Georg Adam Forster during this historic expedition. Forster, who accompanied Cook as a naturalist and artist, meticulously documented the diverse flora and fauna they encountered, producing over 800 illustrations during their journey. The pink ling, also known as the cusk eel or the one-finned ophidian, is a unique and intriguing fish belonging to the Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes) and Osteichthyes (bony fishes) classes. This particular species is characterized by its elongated body, a single dorsal fin, and a distinct pink coloration. The pink ling is a member of the Ophidiidae family and the order Ophidiiformes. This exquisite watercolor painting, which dates back to the late 18th century, offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity that Cook and Forster encountered during their groundbreaking expedition. The painting not only serves as a testament to their remarkable discoveries but also as an enduring work of art that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
