Artforms of Nature

Ernst Haeckel, 1834-1919, was a German naturalist, biologist, artist. After earning two doctors degrees, Haeckel spent the next 47 years as Professor of Comparative Anatomy at the University of Jenna, Germany.

Haeckel's bizarre evolutionist and Monist beliefs were precursors of (a) Nazism, (b) the Eugenics movement, (c) Jungian psychology and (d) the religion of modern evolution. God blessed Haeckel with prodigious intellect, incredible artistic talent and extensive education. Haeckel squandered these blessings, living his entire life in rebellion against God and truth.

Sadly, there is no evidence that Haeckel ever trusted Jesus Christ as his Savior and got saved. His rejection of the Jewish Messiah and his beliefs about evolution led to the Nazi Holocaust in which more than six million Jews perished.

The 100 color plates in his book, Kunstformen der Natur (Artforms of Nature), are works of art. Today all 100 of these pictures are copyright free and in the public domain.

You may use them in any way you choose, to make posters, greeting cards, wallpaper or fine art prints to sell online or elsewhere.

It goes without saying that we at Gay Christian 101 do not endorse Haeckel's evolutionist views or his other anti-God, anti-Bible views. In particular we reject the view popularized by Haeckel, that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny. That is the goofy belief of evolutionists that human embryos retrace their evolutionary ancestry.

Ernst Haeckel stands as a warning from God. Do not waste what I've given you. Let us be careful not to waste the gifts and talents God freely gives us.

All to Jesus, I surrender,
All to Him I freely give.
