Examples of Siphonophorae from 'Kunstformen der Natur' (Art Forms of Nature) 1899 - by German Zooligist Matune Biologist, and artist, Ernst Haeckel
It's almost 3am but instead of sleeping, I've spent the last two hours looking up Siphonophores.

1/ Stunning high resolution images of illustrations by German biologist &artist Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) from his 1904 book Art Forms in Nature (Kunstformen der Natur). These drawings of flora &fauna influenced the Art Nouveau movement. It's not hard to see why and how. A THREAD
Blast from the past 👼 when I first started to get into angels and Ernst Haeckel...
#Haeckel’s wife Anna Sethe died unexpectedly after they had only been married 18 months. Shortly after her death, he discovered a jellyfish whose tentacles reminded him of Anna’s hair, naming it Mitrocoma Annae (L). He later named Desmonema annasethe (R) after her. https://t.co/CWJHMkwgV5

Such as Ernst Haeckel, Robert Hooke , Vera Meyer, Galileo galilei, Santiago Ramon y Cajal, Maria Merian, Leonardo Sa Vinci who contributed theirs scientific work through artistic lens.9/
Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919)
Biologiste mais aussi illustrateur de ses propres ouvrages scientifiques dont le plus connu est "Formes artistiques de la Nature" et qui a influencé de nombreux artistes de l'Art Nouveau. C'est aussi à lui que l'on doit le mot "écologie".
This creature is not on the menu today but I’m always a fan of good Octopus Art (Ernst Haeckel, 1904)!
