Dive into the dazzling world of Eugène Séguy, the French polymath who turned entomology into high art. This bug-obsessed genius wasn't content with just classifying Diptera; he transformed creepy crawlies into kaleidoscopic masterpieces that had Art Nouveau salons buzzing.

Séguy's pochoir prints weren't just scientific illustrations; they were insect pin-ups that made beetles look sexier than Bardot. From Art Nouveau florals to Art Deco geometrics, Séguy's artistic evolution was like watching a caterpillar morph into a Technicolor butterfly. His portfolios weren't just eye candy; they were visual feasts that had designers and scientists alike salivating.

Séguy's legacy straddles the microscope and the canvas, proving that true artistry knows no boundaries - even when those boundaries are exoskeletons. In Séguy's hands, the natural world became a riot of color and pattern that continues to inspire designers and bug enthusiasts alike, making entomology the coolest science since, well, ever.

About this collection

In the heart of Paris, where dusk drips gold into the Seine, Eugène Séguy walked as a naturalist split in two—half scientific precision, half untamed ornament. He did not simply study the Diptera, those winged phantoms of air, but draped them across paper like jewels—mosquito wings sharp as glass, butterfly prints trembling between taxonomy and trance.

Through the pochoir technique, ink bled in bursts—Art Deco butterflies shimmering beside Art Nouveau insects, where nature’s blueprint spiraled into ornamental desire.

As chair of entomology at the Muséum national d’histoire naturelle, Séguy built a new language for French entomology, where the Seguy insect plates spoke not only of species but of longing—a longing to see nature not just classified but adorned.

His Insectes Papillons flutter between scientific illustration and dream, archival precision dissolving into aesthetic delirium. Each wing a poem, each vein a map, each species alive within the tension between knowledge and ecstasy.

What remains is not just entomological legacy, but a shimmering truth—that insects, like artists, resist silence. They hum, they dazzle, they persist. Even now, they glow under glass, refusing to be forgotten.
