Ernst Haeckel - Proteus

Proteus

This is an amazing clip from a full feature movie/documentary - 'Proteus', about Ernst Haeckel and his contribution to the sciences, specifically the study of oceanic radiolarians <3.

Not only is Haeckel known for his numerous scientific discoveries, but also his triumphant feat of bringing what exists on a microscopic level to one we can visually perceive without the aid of a scientific tool. Ernst's beautifully rendered illustrations of microscopic data brought to life - breathtaking.


He is definitely my inspiration.
