Chiroptera [Bats] Rectangle Canvas Wrap

Bats] (1904) Plate 67 from Kunstformen der Natur by Ernst Haeckel (German, 1834–1919) Ernst Haeckel was a zoologist, naturalist, and one of the most visually gifted scientists of the 19th century. Over his career he described and named thousands of new species — and coined terms still used in biology today, including "ecology," "phylum," and "stem cell." His landmark publication Kunstformen der Natur ("Art Forms in Nature"), a series of 100 lithographic plates published between 1899 and 1904, would go on to directly inspire the Art Nouveau movement. Plate 67, Chiroptera, is devoted entirely to bats — specifically the extraordinary diversity of their facial structures. Depicted here: the Brown Long-eared Bat, Lesser Long-eared Bat, Lesser False Vampire Bat, Big-eared Woolly Bat, Tomes's Sword-nosed Bat, Mexican Funnel-eared Bat, Antillean Ghost-faced Bat, Flower-faced Bat, Greater Spear-nosed Bat, Thumbless Bat, Greater Horseshoe Bat, Wrinkle-faced Bat, and Spectral Bat. Rendered with Haeckel's characteristic symmetry and obsessive precision — science as devotion.
