Description

You'll be mesmerized by this monochromatic masterpiece, a cockle shell print that transcends mere illustration. Haeckel's meticulous hand brings this oceanic treasure to life, its frilled edges dancing across the canvas like frozen waves.

The shell's intricate ridges and striations emerge in stark relief, a testament to nature's artistry. Observe how light seems to play across its pearlescent surface, each groove and spine etched with scientific precision.

This lithograph elevates the humble bivalve to fine art status, its symmetrical beauty a snapshot of marine evolution. As you gaze upon this vintage reproduction, you'll be transported to tidal pools of yesteryear, where such specimens inspired naturalists and artists alike.

This exquisite piece will transform your space, infusing it with the timeless allure of the sea, while showcasing your discerning taste for scientific artistry and oceanic wonders.

About the Artist

Ernst Haeckel (16 February 1834 – 9 August 1919) was a German biologist, philosopher, and artist who made major contributions to zoology and evolutionary theory.

He named thousands of new species, mapped genealogical trees of life, and coined terms like "ecology" and "phylogeny." Haeckel was a strong advocate of Darwin's theories, helping popularize evolutionary ideas in Germany.

His book "Art Forms of Nature" features over 100 detailed, colorful illustrations of marine life and influenced the Art Nouveau movement. And Haeckel's influence reached beyond science, blending biology with artistic beauty and philosophy, exploring ideas on evolution and human knowledge.
