This reproduction of a naturalist plate by Ernst Haeckel illustrates with remarkable precision the morphological diversity of sea urchins (Echinidea). Against a contrasting black background, the calcareous structures and spines of various specimens, such as the Cidaris genus, are brought to light through a rigorous symmetrical composition, characteristic of the author's work.
Initially published in the collection Kunstformen der Natur between 1899 and 1904, this work testifies to the German biologist's desire to reconcile art and science. The drawing underlines the geometric harmony of echinoderms, a style that exerted a major influence on the Art Nouveau movement in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century.
This antique illustration is perfectly suited for amateurs of marine biology and scientific aesthetics. It constitutes a refined decoration element for a cabinet of curiosities or a sober interior, inviting the contemplation of the complex structures of aquatic life.
