The book’s official release date is November 7, 2017. Even so, I have long been hopelessly in love with looking at his art, and am thrilled its on the cover. Toward the end of his life, he was criticized by the science community for his staunch ideas about evolution and embryology, and accused of tampering with his drawings to make his point. Haeckel had the incredible ability to render the most unnoticed creatures on our planet in exquisite grandeur.īut despite his inimitable faculty with the drawing pen, Haeckel did have his flaws. You might even start to see his drawings on Etsy products and in random gift shops because they are still so inspiring. It’s one of those works that will stick with you for a long time. If you haven’t ever seen Haeckel’s book of drawings called Kunstformen der Natur, or Art Forms of Nature, take a look. There’s the cover! And wow, could it be any more beautiful? The stunning colors and elegant layout came from my publisher Riverhead books and the jellyfish drawings are by Ernst Haeckel, an Austrian naturalist/jellyfish expert/philosopher/physician/artist who lived in the late 1800s.
