EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Hornet, 1833-39" takes us back to the enchanting world of the 19th century. Created by an anonymous French artist from that era, this artwork is a true testament to the beauty and intricacy of nature. The print showcases a hornet in all its glory, with vibrant hues bringing it to life on paper. The attention to detail is remarkable; every delicate wing vein and intricate body segment has been meticulously captured by the skilled hand of the artist. Originally published in Felix Edouard Guerin-Meneville's "Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" between 1833 and 1839, this engraving was meant to educate and inspire readers about various aspects of natural history. It serves as a window into a time when scientific exploration was at its peak. Beyond just depicting a hornet, this print also features other fascinating elements such as dinosaurs and plesiosaurs. This amalgamation of creatures adds an extra layer of intrigue to the composition, inviting viewers to delve deeper into their imaginations. Preserved within private collections for years, this exquisite piece now finds itself available for public appreciation thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. As we gaze upon this historical gem today, we are reminded once again of humanity's enduring fascination with the wonders found in our natural world.
