Description

This stunning chromolithograph plate from Ernst Haeckel's 'Kunstformen der Natur' (Art Forms of Nature, published 1899–1904) displays a symmetrical arrangement of sea squirts (Ascidiae / Seescheiden) in breathtaking botanical-scientific detail. Radially patterned tunicate colonies in coral red, teal, gold, and ivory are set against a deep black background, each organism rendered with jewel-like precision. Haeckel's landmark German publication, comprising 100 plates, celebrated the geometric beauty of natural organisms and profoundly influenced Art Nouveau design.
