  • Sobre artista
    Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg (1795, Delitzsch - 1876, Berlim) foi um biólogo alemão, explorador científico e fundador da micropaleontologia, ou seja, o estudo de microorganismos fósseis. Ele terminou seus estudos na Universidade de Berlim em 1818 e foi associado à universidade ao longo de sua carreira. Ele participou de uma expedição científica ao Egito, Líbia, Sudão de 1820 a 1825. Junto com Von Humbold, ele participou de uma viagem à Ásia Central e Sibéria em 1829, expedição patrocinada pelo Czar Nicolau I. Ehrenberg acreditava que todos os animais (pequenos ou grande) possuem sistemas de órgãos completos. Seus trabalhos mais importantes incluem Reisen in Aegypten, Libyen, Nubien und Dongula (1828; Viagens no Egito, Líbia, Nubia e Dongola) e Die Infusionstierchen als volkommene Organismen (1838; Os Infusiora como organismos completos).
