Beschreibung
Object Name: Print
The man depicted in this print is the biologist, zoologist, philosopher, and artist Ernst Haeckel. His charismatic appearance fascinated Emil Orlik, who specialized in engraving. Orlik was the first early 20th-century German artist to travel to Japan to study woodcutting. After his return to Germany he devoted himself to teaching, exerting a profound influence on young German artists not just in terms of technique but also in his conception of portraiture.
