Add an element of elegance reminiscent of the Age of Enlightenment and its scientific discoveries to your interior design with this historical artwork reproduction of the Sparus Sargus (The Base) from Marcus Elieser Bloch. First printed in Berlin between 1782 and 1795 within Bloch’s famous masterpiece, Allgemeine Naturgeschichte der Fische (Ichthyology), this illustration is a prime example of the golden age of natural history illustration. German naturalist and physician Marcus Elieser Bloch made great progress in documenting marine life using highly detailed anatomical illustrations along with artistic copperplate engravings. The illustration includes unique metallic scales, delicate spines on the fins, and many other fine details of the species, as well as its nomenclature inscribed in the vintage style. The print will look perfect not only as a focal point of coastal interiors but also in a library or gallery-style composition.
