Deconstructed European Lobster (Homarus Gammarus) Under Custom Glass Case

Deconstructed European Lobster (Homarus Gammarus) Under Custom Glass Case.

The European lobster, also referred to as the common lobster or Homarus gammarus, belongs to the clawed lobster family and inhabits the eastern Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and certain regions of the Black Sea. It shares a close kinship with the American lobster, scientifically known as H. americanus.

The deconstruction technique invented by anatomist Edmé François Chauvot de Beachêne in France in the 19th century involves the meticulous disassembly of all the components of a skull or crustacea. In this case, the pieces are re-articulated and positioned in an exploded array on a copper wire support. This is the same technique as the anatomical drawings of Leonardo da Vinci.

Measures: 12" x 9" x 25.5"
