Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919) was a German biologist and passionate proponent of Darwinism who dedicated his life to illustrating the exquisite, geometric beauty of the natural world. His Kunstformen plates were hugely influential on artists, architects, and designers of the early 20th century, particularly those defining the Art Nouveau movement (or Jugendstil in Germany). This plate showcases various hummingbird species (Trochilidae), meticulously rendered to highlight their iridescent feathers, delicate structures, and natural symmetry. This print represents Haeckel’s mission to celebrate the aesthetic harmony of evolution, making it an essential piece of vintage botanical and zoological art for collectors who appreciate the fusion of scientific precision with decorative artistry.
