Discover the mesmerizing marine world of Louis Renard, an 18th-century publisher, spy, and creator of Poissons, Écrevisses et Crabes (1719)—one of the first color-illustrated books on tropical sea life. With 460 hand-colored engravings, Renard’s work blends scientific observation with artistic imagination, featuring brilliantly detailed fish, crustaceans, and even mythical creatures like mermaids. His bold use of color and intricate compositions captivated European audiences, making this collection a landmark in both natural history and art.
Our Louis Renard Wall Calendar presents a curated selection of these extraordinary illustrations, beautifully restored for modern appreciation. Each month showcases a vivid print with poetic descriptions, creating a harmonious blend of history, marine biology, and fine art. With ample space for notes and a detachable design for framing, this calendar is both a practical organizer and a collectible treasure for ocean lovers, art enthusiasts, and history buffs.
