La biodiversité littorale vue par Méheut

Description:

New revised and enlarged edition. Visiting Roscoff in 1910 for six months, the great artist Mathurin Méheut remained there for two years, bringing together the sum of his watercolors, drawings and sketches in an exceptional work: 'L’Étude de la Mer'. Each of his illustrations reproduced here is accompanied by a commentary written by biologist and oceanographer Michel Glémarec. 140 colour drawings and plates, reproducing more than 160 species, testify to the specific richness of these often fragile environments. The scientific commentaries shed light on the prolific illustratons and allow us to grasp a marine universe that has long remained mysterious.
