This short essay discusses sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century representations of aquatic creatures made in two of the most important port cities of Europe at the time: Venice and Antwerp. We look at the diversity of visual material and representative genres (drawings, illuminations, frescoes, prints, oil paintings), at their connections with aquatilia as objects, and at the links of both objects and images to collections in these two cities. In comparing the material from these two port cities and cultural centres we are especially interested in three questions: periodisation; materiality; and innovation in visual formats, including its possible connection with the role of both Venice and Antwerp as European centres of printing.

Cet essai traite de la reprÃ©sentation dâespÃ¨ces aquatiques dans des objets dâart visuel, produits aux seiziÃ¨me et dix-septiÃ¨me siÃ¨cles dans deux villes portuaires europÃ©ennes importantes Ã lâÃ©poque: Venise et Anvers. Nous considÃ©rons la diversitÃ© des objets et des genres visuels (dessins, enluminures, fresques, imprimÃ©s, tableaux), leurs connections avec les aquatilia en tant quâobjets, et les liens entre les objets et les images et les collections Ã©tablies dans ces deux villes. En comparant les matÃ©riaux produits dans ces villes portuaires et centres culturels, nous nous intÃ©ressons surtout Ã trois aspects: la pÃ©riodisation; la matÃ©rialitÃ©; et lâinnovation concernant les formats visuels, y compris ses connections possibles avec les rÃ´les de Venise et Anvers en tant que centres europÃ©ens de lâimprimerie.
