Antoine Risso (1777-1844) was a native and lifelong resident of Nice (France). He was a pharmacist by training and occupation, but became one of the foremost naturalists of his time. Risso published extensively on the flora, and particularly the marine fauna, of his native region. His 'magnum opus' is an 1826 five volume work on the natural history of Nice and its region, treating geology, botany and zoology:

Proto-photographic and proto-cinematic technologies are an unending source of inspiration for a visual artist. We want to consider the case of an eighteenth-century optical device, the Claude mirror, as a starting point for an artistic collaboration. The Claude mirror is a small black convex mirror named after the painter Claude Lorrain and used by late eighteenth-century and early nineteenth-century painters and travellers for viewing landscapes. The dark mirror surface produces an image with a limited tonal range, allowing the viewer to look at the environment as if it were a painting. A famous Thomas Gainsborough drawing shows a man seated on a bank with a sketchbook on his lap and holding an oval mirror propped against a tree branch (Gainsborough, 1750-55). In spring 2019, in a flash of joint inspiration, we conceived a method of combining aspects of our artistic processes: Salla’s moving image and Laura’s printmaking practice. For 18 months, we captured photographic time-lapse sequences of everyday views from the backyards of our studios, residencies, and homes as reflections on the surface of copper plates installed in the environment (Myllylä and Vainikka, 2021). In the resulting installation, titled Claude Chamber, we projected the video sequences on the gallery space, reflected via the same mirror surfaces, and the projected images became distorted and spatial. We were intrigued by this optical device, in which characteristics of photography and printmaking meet. One can think of a Claude glass as a predecessor of the camera viewfinder, an early photographic gesture. It can also be viewed as a printing plate, a matrix reflecting a view. In a traditional printing plate, the image is attached or fastens itself onto the surface of the plate; in our installation, the image is transient and moving.

Antoine Risso (1777-1844) est né et a vécu toute sa vie à Nice (France). Pharmacien de formation et de profession, il devint l'un des plus grands naturalistes de son temps. Risso a publié de nombreux ouvrages sur la flore et surtout la faune marines de sa région natale. Son opus magnum (1826) est un ouvrage en cinq volumes sur l'histoire naturelle de Nice et de sa région, traitant de géologie, de botanique et de zoologie : Histoire naturelle des principales productions de l'Europe méridionale et particulièrement de celles des environs de Nice et des Alpes maritimes. Les volumes comprennent de magnifiques planches en couleur, presque toutes réalisées par Jean-Gabriel Prêtre, l'un des peintres naturalistes les plus réputés de la première moitié du XIXe siècle. L'Histoire naturelle de Risso a fait l'objet de nombreuses critiques lors de sa parution. Cependant, on peut dire aujourd'hui qu'elle a passé l'épreuve du temps. Parmi les ouvrages publiés en 1826, l'Histoire naturelle de Risso figure parmi les cinq premiers en termes de nombre total de citations dans les revues académiques, aux côtés des ouvrages classiques de d'Orbigny sur les céphalopodes et de Malthus sur l'accroissement de la population. Cependant, l'oeuvre majeure de Risso est inconnue de la plupart d'entre nous, à l'exception peut-être des taxonomistes de poissons et des spécialistes de l'illustration scientifique. Nous tentons ici de présenter à un large public la vie d'Antoine Risso et son oeuvre majeure, ainsi que l'oeuvre de Jean-Gabriel Prêtre. MOTS-CLÉS. Histoire de l'ichtyologie, Histoire de l'histoire naturelle, Illustration scientifique, Tourisme scientifique.
