Sparus Tetracanthus

by Marcus Elieser Bloch

This digital restoration of the painting is based on the original plate by Marcus Elieser Bloch, which features Sparus Tetracanthus (labeled in the upper right part as Der Vierfächer in German and Le Spare à quatre piquants in French). As can be seen in the picture below, the clear illustration against the plain background reveals the fine texturing of the fish’s scales, its blue eye, and the unique spines of the dorsal fins.

Perfect for framing, interior styling, coastal-themed decor, or as a sophisticated gift for marine biology enthusiasts and antique print collectors.
