TI  - Discovering life in the deep sea: new scientific and artistic perspectives 
AU  - Christophe Migon 
AB  - Until the Challenger expedition, and despite isolated studies that proved otherwise in the early 19th century, the naturalist community was convinced that the depths of the sea were devoid of animal life. But as soon as the Challenger’s discoveries were published, zoologists became aware of completely new forms of life, and the artists who depicted the organisms studied by scientists at the time enabled specialists, but also a wider audience to visualise these surprising creatures. Other expeditions, notably that of the Valdivia, revealed an ever more diverse and abundant abyssal life, which was lithographed or painted in watercolour until the mid-20th century, before photography opened up another artistic perspective.
