Description
An Ernst Haeckel jellyfish, one of several stylized versions created by Haeckel. My unscientific mind loves the watermelon colors of this illustration. This art print is from a scientific illustration created during the HMS Challenger Expedition that took place between 1872 & 1876. The end of this listing has more about Ernst Haeckel. I have enhanced this illustration for maximum clarity, detail & color. If you like this jellyfish & have more space to fill with ethereal & flowing Haeckel jellyfishes, I have an Ernst Haeckel set of 6 here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/640160012/jellyfish-print-set-of-6-ernst-haeckel?ga_search_query=jellyfish&ref=shop_items_search_3&pro=1&frs=1 Spotted Octopus Print Co. art prints are made using a Canon 12 color fine art printer & museum class archival papers.

Wikipedia: Ernst Haeckel;(February 16, 1834 - August 9, 19191] also written von Haeckel, was an eminent German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor & artist who discovered, described & named thousands of new species, mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms, & coined many terms in biology, including anthropogeny, ecology, phylum, phylogeny, stem cell, & the kingdom Protista. Haeckel promoted & popularized Charles Darwin's work in Germany & developed the controversial recapitulation theory ("ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny") claiming that an individual organism's biological development, or ontogeny, parallels & summarizes its species' evolutionary development, or phylogeny. The published artwork of Haeckel includes over 100 detailed, multi-colour illustrations of animals & sea creatures
