Whale from Natural History Pictures of the Mammals (1824)
Heinrich Rudolf Schinz, a distinguished 19th-century Swiss naturalist, made a significant contribution to zoological illustration with his work "Natural History Pictures of the Mammals." This 1824 picture of a whale is a prime example of his meticulous attention to detail and his desire to depict nature in all its glory. Schinz's illustrations are not only scientifically valuable but also aesthetically pleasing, making them a true delight for art and nature lovers alike. The whale's depiction captures the majestic size and mysterious aura of these sea giants, inviting the viewer to delve into the depths of the oceans.
Interesting fact: Heinrich Rudolf Schinz was not only a gifted naturalist, but also a passionate collector of curiosities. He is said to have run a small museum in his house in Zurich, where he exhibited his collection of exotic animals and plants. This passion for collecting led to him often being called "the Swiss Darwin", although he never visited the Galapagos Islands. His works inspired many of his contemporaries and contributed to the popularization of natural sciences in the 19th century.

Print Quality & Material
We believe that art has the power to inspire the mind, tell stories and transform spaces.
That's why we put our hearts into every step of the printing process to ensure that every work we produce meets the highest artistic standards.
printing process
Our fine art giclée printers use 12 different ink tanks and produce museum-quality art prints. Thanks to specially pigmented inks, significantly more color nuances can be displayed than with conventional printing processes and other providers.
Print medium
We use extra-heavy (400g/m2) premium canvas made from 100% cotton. The high grammage and texture of the canvas ensures a particularly high-quality and almost three-dimensional appearance.
Environmentally friendly
We only use original and high-quality pigment ink which contains real pigment particles. This is UV-resistant, solvent-free, vegan and environmentally friendly.
UV & moisture resistant
Thanks to the UV resistance of our pigment inks, the prints do not fade or discolor and retain their color brilliance for up to 100 years.
