"Jaap Sinke and Ferry van Tongeren are dedicated to showing the beauty of nature throught their flamboyant compositions of Fine Taxidermy. In the seventeenth century, the great painters of the Golden Age set out to portray the wonder of exotic animals brought back to Europe for the first time. Today, Sinke and van Tongeren have reclaimed that power to amaze, creating taxidermy art in homage to the skill and passion of the Old Masters and to their muse -- the naturalist, Charles Darwin." -- Publisher's description.
