Art Forms of Nature (Kunstformen der Natur) was a book of lithographic and autotype prints by German biologist Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) originally published in sets of ten between 1899 and 1904. It consisted of 100 prints of various organisms, many of which were first described by Haeckel himself. Over the course of his career he produced over 1000 engravings on his sketches and watercolors; many of the best of these were chosen for Kunstformen der Natur, translated from sketch to print by lithographer Adolf Giltsch.

The geometric shapes and natural forms, captured with exceptional precision in Haeckel\'s prints, still influence artists and designers to this day. Powerful modern microscopes have confirmed the accuracy of Haeckel\'s prints, which even in their day, became world famous.

The plates illustrate Haeckel\'s fundamental monistic notion of the \"unity of all living things\" and the wide variety of forms are executed with utmost delicacy.His collection of plates was not only well-received by scientists, but by artists and architects as well. Rene Binet, a pioneer of glass and iron constructions, Emile Galle, a renowned Art Nouveau designer, and the photographer Karl Blossfeld all make explicit reference to Haeckel in their work.

**the giclee process produces a superior quality, fine art reproduction from a high-resolution digital file of an image. The file is then printed with a high-resolution photo generation printer on a fine art paper. Most artists and working photographers today use the giclee process to produce reproductions of their original artwork and photographs.

As with any original art or fine art reproduction, it is recommended that prints are framed and displayed under glass to prevent color fade or shift over the years.
