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
How Ernst Haeckel, born on this day in 1834, turned his greatest heartbreak into transcendent art celebrating the science of nature, coined the word "ecology," and enchanted Darwin with his sublime scientific illustration https://t.co/0B8GP1lePt
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)!
#DYK that as well as #Halloween today is also the final day of #BatWeek? To celebrate here is a print of various bats from Ernst Haeckel's 'Kunstformen der Natur' (Artforms in nature), 1899-1904. More about Haeckel in our blog from 2017: https://t.co/p2yQettBgn #HappyHalloween
Imagine covering your body with tattoos of Ernst Haeckel's scientific illustrations 🥵

#Blaschkaeveryday is on the naked snail trail. Eolis or Aeolis then Aeolidia papillosa [369] was described by Alder &Hancock in their "A monograph of the British nudibranchiate Mollusca" [@bhl] published by the @RaySocietyBooks but also copied by Haeckel. @corningmuseum @Cornell
#BlaschkaEveryday will start the Haeckel week. A Blaschka neigbhour based in Leipzig published Das Protistenreich (1878) and they copied a few including Heliosphaera actinota (645). Each hexagon is made of individual segment. Model from @NHM_London Pictures Guido Mocaficco.
