Trigla Cataphracta - The Rochet

by Marcus Elieser Bloch

Transform your surroundings into an 18th-century scientific environment with this beautiful replica of Marcus Elieser Bloch’s Trigla Cataphracta (also referred to as The Rochet, Der Gabelfisch, or the Armored Gurnard). This image was originally created and published in Berlin from 1782 through 1795 in Bloch’s classic Allgemeine Naturgeschichte der Fische. This artwork is one of the most famous periods of scientific printmaking. This exquisite piece shows the unique bright red coloring of the creature, its golden yellow fins, the blue color of the eye, and a rostral projection.

Produced using pigment inks on archival, museum-quality matte paper, this fine art print is a replication of the original copperplate engraving that is rich in details, line work, and hand coloring. It is an elegant choice for your coastal homes, executive offices, scientific research, and vintage art collection.
