Ernst Haeckel Leptomedusae Tumblers Gazette du Bon TonErnst Haeckel (1834 1919), a German zoologist, marine biologist, and artist, was responsible for discovering and naming thousands of new species. In addition to its scientific importance, Kunstformen der Natur proved highly influential to early twentieth century art, architecture, and design; many artists associated with Art Nouveau drew inspiration from Haeckel's images.
