About the Item
Title: Magnificent Lithograph of Scandinavian Sharks from Pisces Scandinaviae Series
Description: This stunning lithograph from the renowned Pisces Scandinaviae series depicts four species of sharks, masterfully illustrated to capture their unique anatomical features. The print showcases the artistic and scientific talents of W. v. Wright and C. Erdmann, who dedicated their skills to depicting marine biodiversity with remarkable precision and artistry.
The species presented include Isurus cornubicus, Pristiurus catalus, Etmopterus spinax, and Scylliorhinus canicula. Each shark is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, highlighting their distinctive characteristics and natural markings. Isurus cornubicus, commonly known as the mackerel shark, features a sleek and robust body, emphasizing its predatory nature. Pristiurus catalus, or small-spotted catshark, is distinguished by its slender body and intricate spotted pattern, while Etmopterus spinax, the velvet belly lanternshark, exhibits a dark, almost luminescent tone that evokes the mysterious depths of the ocean. Lastly, Scylliorhinus canicula, the lesser spotted dogfish, is portrayed with its characteristic speckled skin and elongated form, perfectly capturing its agile movement through coastal waters.
The beauty of this lithograph lies not only in the accuracy of the scientific representation but also in the aesthetic appeal of the composition. The carefully blended tones and detailed shading lend depth and realism to the illustration, creating a captivating visual experience. The harmonious arrangement of the four species allows for a comparative study of their forms, making this print both an educational resource and an artistic masterpiece.
Pisces Scandinaviae is celebrated for its dedication to representing Scandinavian marine life with both artistic elegance and scientific accuracy. This print exemplifies the era's fascination with natural history and the drive to document the diversity of the natural world. It is an invaluable piece for collectors and admirers of zoological art and remains a testament to the skill and passion of its creators.
Condition summary:
The print is in fair condition, with vibrant colors and well-preserved details. Minimal signs of aging, except for one (back side) repair on the head of the third fish, but it does not detract from the overall beauty of this antique print.
Framing tips:
To enhance the elegance of this lithograph, consider a simple yet refined frame in natural wood or dark oak. A cream or light gray mat will provide contrast and draw attention to the fine details of the print. Use UV-protective glass to ensure longevity and preserve the colors.
