About the Item
Scandinavian Sturgeon and Chimaera Lithograph from Pisces Scandinaviae Series
Description:
This exquisite lithograph from the Pisces Scandinaviae series presents two captivating aquatic species, the sturgeon (Acipenser sturio) and the enigmatic chimaera (Chimaera monstrosa). Created with the meticulous lithographic technique characteristic of the 19th century, this print showcases a remarkable balance of scientific precision and artistic mastery. The hand-coloring adds a lifelike vibrancy, emphasizing the distinct features and textures of these unique fish.
The sturgeon, depicted at the top, exhibits its signature armored scales and elongated body. The artist has skillfully captured the rough, bony plates along its back and the gentle curve of its form. Sturgeons are known for their ancient lineage, dating back over 200 million years, and their distinctive, almost prehistoric appearance. They are migratory fish, often found in both freshwater and saltwater environments, and are highly valued for their caviar.
Below the sturgeon, the lithograph features the peculiar and rarely depicted chimaera, also known as the rabbit fish or ghost shark. With its smooth, elongated body and wing-like pectoral fins, the chimaera's appearance is both graceful and otherworldly. The spotted pattern on its body is rendered with delicate precision, and the subtle shading adds depth to the portrayal. Chimaeras are deep-sea fish, rarely seen by human eyes, and belong to one of the oldest lineages of jawed vertebrates.
This print is an excellent representation of the natural history art of the 19th century, blending scientific accuracy with an aesthetic appeal that makes it a valuable addition to any collection. Its historical significance and the fascinating subject matter make it an intriguing conversation piece.
Condition summary:
This lithograph is in very good condition, maintaining its original colors with minimal aging signs. The paper is clean and free from foxing or stains, preserving the integrity of the artwork.
Framing tips:
Opt for a dark wood or natural oak frame to complement the earthy tones of the fish. A light beige or off-white mat will enhance the contrast and draw attention to the fine details. Use museum-quality, UV-protective glass to safeguard the print from fading and environmental damage.
