About this artwork
This plate comes from Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur and gathers blastoids, a group of fossil marine animals, on a black ground. Their small, bud-like calyces are drawn in yellow and grey, some seen from above and others from the side. Seen from above, the forms open into star-like and petal-like patterns, which gives the plate a botanical air even though the subjects are animals. The varied views let you compare how the shapes are built and how they differ from one another.
On your wall: The dark ground and muted yellow and grey tones suit a study, library or hallway, and sit well beside other botanical or natural history prints.
