Enjoy the eternal grace of scientific illustration from the 18th century with this incredible fine art reproduction of Cyprinus Gibelio (The Gibel), first illustrated by the great German physician and naturalist, Marcus Elieser Bloch. Famous throughout history as the "Audubon of fish," Bloch created copperplate engravings of unparalleled accuracy, beauty, and exquisite hand-colored details.In this vintage artwork, you will find the beautiful deep body shape and the brilliant iridescent pattern of scales found in the Gibel carp (the modern Carassius gibelio), surrounded by the original copperplate typography of this fish (Cyprinus Gibelio, Die Giebel, La Gibele). An excellent addition to any study, rustic cabin or coastal setting, minimalist gallery walls, or eclectic kitchens and dining rooms, this historical artwork is a perfect fusion of science and fine art.
