For the months of March and April we are featuring the amazing work of Pierre Denys de Montfort, (1766–1820) a french naturalist, in particular a malacologist, remembered today for his pioneering inquiries into the existence of the gigantic octopus, which was thought to be an old wives’ tale, and for which he was long dismissed.
This piece “Colossal Octopus” from 1810 is a pen and wash drawing from the descriptions of French sailors reportedly attacked by such a creature off the coast of Angola. Receive a free limited edition postcard with every purchase!
