EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty and intricacy of two fascinating crab species, the Circular crab and the swimming crab. Created by Corsi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true masterpiece of scientific illustration. The Circular crab, scientifically known as Atelecyclus rotundatus, takes center stage with its unique circular shape resembling an old man's face. Its seven teeth add to its distinctive appearance. On the other hand, we have the swimming crab, Portumnus latipes, also referred to as Portunno variegato. This elegant creature gracefully moves through water with its elongated legs. Published in Florence in 1837 as part of Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali (Dictionary of Natural Science), this illustration was engraved by Corsi under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Turpin himself is renowned as one of France's greatest botanical illustrators during that era. The attention to detail and vibrant colors bring these crabs to life on paper. As you admire this artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, take a moment to appreciate nature's diversity and marvel at how science and art can beautifully intertwine in capturing its wonders.
