Bella incisione colorata a mano del 1825 circa tratta dalla monumentale opera di storia naturale di Buffon, carta spessa. L'incisione rappresenta tre specie di vipere delle quali una vipera comune, una vipera aspis, una vipera rostrata. In buone condizioni, fioriture. TECNICA: Incisione su acciaio colorata AUTORE: Lacepede DIMENSIONI FOGLIO: cm 22x14 DIMENSIONI INCISIONE: cm 15,5x9 EPOCA: 1825 circa Buffon fu un'esponente del movimento scientifico legato all'illuminismo e le sue teorie influenzarono le generazioni successive di naturalisti in particolare Jean Baptiste Lamarck e Charles Darwin. Questa è la sua opera più celebre ed è l'"Histoire Naturelle" pubblicata per la prima volta tra il 1749 ed il 1789 in 36 volumi di cui 8 postumi grazie al lavoro di Bernard Lacepede. Buffon espone tutto il sapere dell'epoca nel campo delle scienze naturali e proprio in questo scritto rilevò le somiglianze tra l'uomo e la scimmia e la possibilità di una genealogia comune. Nice engraving of 1825 circa taken from the monumental work of natural history by Buffon, wide paper. The engraving represents three species of snakes: one of them a common viper, an aspis viper, a Rostrata viper. In good conditions, foxings. TECHNIQUE: coloured steel engraving AUTHOR: Lacepede LEAF SIZE: cm 22x13,5 PRINT'S SIZE: cm 15,5x9 PERIOD: 1825 circa Buffon was an exponent of the scientific movement connected to illuminism and his theories inspired the next generations of naturalists in particular Jean Baptiste Lamarck and Charles Darwin. His most famous work is l'"Histoire Naturelle" published for the first time between 1749 and 1789 in 36 volumes of which 8 are posthumous thanks to the work of Bernard Lacepede. Buffon exposes in the work all the notions in natural history and in this writing in particular underlined the similarity between monkeys and man with a possibility of common genealogy.
