Boletus felleus Bull., Thylopilus felleus Fr. (1915-1945)

Hans Walty (Swiss, 1868-1948)

The bitter bolete rises from damp earth, its spongy underside and smooth cap rendered with clinical precision. Each line traces the fungus’s deceptive beauty—edible in appearance, yet unpalatably acrid to taste. A study in contrasts, where scientific accuracy meets nature’s quiet trickery.
Anthias formosus, The Grunt. (1785-1797)

Marcus Elieser Bloch (German, 1723–1799)

A slender fish with vibrant stripes glides through imagined waters, its delicate fins etched in precise detail. The grunt’s scales shimmer with life, frozen in an elegant dance between scientific accuracy and artistic grace.
Eggs of Blood Partridges, Tragopans, Impeyans and Eared -Pheasants. (1918-1922)

Henrik Gronvold (Danish, unknown)

Delicate speckled shells—partridge, tragopan, impeyan, eared-pheasant—nestle together, each pattern a silent cipher of its species. The muted earth tones whisper of hidden nests, of life coiled tight beneath fragile calcium walls. A quiet study in variation, where every curve holds the promise of wings.
Abbildungen zu Oken’s Allgemeiner Naturgeschichte für alle Stände Pl.007 (1841)

Lorenz Oken (German, unknown)

Delicate veins branch across translucent leaves, each curve etched with precision. The engraving reveals nature’s hidden architecture—a silent study of symmetry and growth, where every line serves both science and art.
White eyed flycatcher (1827–1838)

John James Audubon (American, 1785–1851)

A small flycatcher perches alert, its white-ringed eyes sharp against muted plumage. Delicate watercolor strokes trace each feather’s texture, the bird poised mid-motion as if about to dart after unseen prey.
Reeves’s Pheasant (Syrmaticus reevesi). (1918-1922)

Charles Robert Knight (American, 1874–1953)

A pheasant’s long, barred tail feathers fan out like a painter’s brushstroke, its golden plumage glowing against muted greens. The bird stands alert, head tilted—caught mid-motion, as if about to step beyond the page.
THE BEAUTIFUL SPARUS (1789-1813) (1)

George Shaw (English, 1966–)

A shimmering fish glides through the water, its scales catching the light. The delicate brushwork brings each fin to life, as if it might flick and dart off the page at any moment. There’s a quiet precision here—every detail matters, from the gills to the subtle curve of its tail.
Poissons, ecrevisses et crabes, de diverses couleurs et figures extraordinaires.. Pl.016 (1718-1719)

Louis Renard (French, 1678–1746)

Vibrant fish dart across the page, their scales shimmering in impossible hues. Nearby, a crimson crayfish raises its claws beside a spiked crab frozen mid-scuttle. Each creature twists with exaggerated flair—more fantastical than real, yet alive with motion. The sea’s oddities leap from the paper, demanding a second glance.
Poissons, ecrevisses et crabes, de diverses couleurs et figures extraordinaires.. Pl.098 (1718-1719)

Louis Renard (French, 1678–1746)

Vibrant fish dart across the page, their scales shimmering in impossible hues. Nearby, a spiny crab claws at the margins while crayfish twist through coral. Each creature bends reality—some striped like tigers, others spotted like leopards, all defying nature’s usual palette.
