Title: Scandinavian Fish Lithograph: Herring, Sprat, Müller’s Pearlside, and Pike
Description: This exquisite lithograph from the renowned Pisces Scandinaviae series showcases four fish species native to Scandinavian waters: Clupea harengus (Atlantic herring), Clupea sprattus (European sprat), Maurolicus mülleri (Müller’s pearlside), and Esox lucius (Northern pike). The print reflects the meticulous artistry and scientific dedication characteristic of 19th-century natural history illustrations.
The technique used is lithography combined with hand-coloring, executed with remarkable precision. The application of color adds vibrancy and lifelike qualities to each fish, while the shading and fine line work capture the intricate details of their scales, fins, and natural patterns. The contrast between the dark background highlighting the herring and the lighter composition around the other species creates a dynamic visual effect that draws the viewer's attention.
The Atlantic herring is presented at the bottom with a silvery, streamlined body. This species has long been a staple in Scandinavian fisheries, known for forming large schools in the North Atlantic and Baltic Sea. The herring's delicate, pearly sheen is masterfully rendered, emphasizing its reflective scales and sleek form.
Above the herring, the European sprat is shown as a smaller, more slender fish, noted for its shimmering scales and slightly upturned mouth. Sprats are commonly found in coastal waters and are known for their schooling behavior. The artist has managed to capture the subtle differences between the two species, highlighting their distinct anatomical features.
The Maurolicus mülleri, or Müller’s pearlside, appears as a tiny, translucent fish with unique reflective properties. The lithograph captures the lightness and transparency that make this species so distinctive. Pearlsides are found in deep waters and are known for their bioluminescent qualities, which the artist hints at through delicate color gradation.
Finally, the Northern pike, positioned at the top, is depicted with its characteristic elongated body, sharp snout, and greenish-brown coloration patterned with yellowish spots. The print captures the essence of this predatory fish, emphasizing its powerful form and distinct patterns.
This lithograph stands out for its combination of scientific accuracy and artistic excellence. The delicate hand-coloring and skillful representation of each species make it not only a valuable scientific record but also a captivating piece of art.
Condition summary:
The print is in excellent condition with vivid colors and crisp details. No noticeable foxing or discoloration, and the dark background remains rich and even.
Framing tips:
Use a dark wood frame or black metal frame to complement the dark background and emphasize the striking contrast. A white or off-white mat with a thin black inner lining can add depth and sophistication. Consider UV-protective glass to preserve the colors and protect the artwork from light damage.
