This medusa jellyfish scientific illustration is a giclee print reproduction from Ernst Haeckel’s Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms of Nature) which was published in 1904. It features views of the organisms classified as Discomedusae, or jellyfish.

ABOUT THE MAKER:
Ernst Haeckel was a German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor, and artist who discovered, described and named thousands of new species, mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms, and coined many terms in biology, including anthropogeny, ecology, phylum, phylogeny, stem cell, and Protista.

Haeckel promoted and popularized Charles Darwin’s work in Germany and developed the influential but no longer widely held recapitulation theory claiming that an individual’s organism’s biological development parallels and summarizes its species’ evolutionary development.

This vintage art print is one of many by Ernst Haeckel and makes an excellent choice for your home or office, or, as a gift for any fans of biology, or antique scientific illustrations. We offer this print as a fine art giclee print in many different sizes on fine art paper, canvas (matte or glossy), or as a professionally gallery wrapped canvas print.
