Inspired by the visionary scientific illustrations of Ernst Haeckel, this églomisé silver-leaf glass artwork by Jonathan Charles captures the ethereal beauty of marine life. The central jellyfish, rendered with both precision and poetry, appears suspended in light – its form at once scientific and otherworldly.
Reverse-painted on silver leaf and framed with an antique patina, the piece reflects Jonathan Charles’ tradition of translating historic sources into objects of enduring elegance, where art, nature and craftsmanship quietly converge.Reverse-painted on silver leaf, the imagery captures the quiet radiance and symmetry of the natural world, where science and art converge. Framed in antique silver patina, the three panels read as a single, contemplative composition – a meditation on light, movement and the enduring beauty found beneath the surface.
