"Jellyfish from Kunstformen der Natur" refers to a subset of illustrations within the larger work "Kunstformen der Natur" (Art Forms in Nature), which is a book of lithographic and autotype prints by German biologist, naturalist, and artist Ernst Haeckel. Published in sets between 1899 and 1904, the work consists of 100 prints of various organisms, many of which were first described by Haeckel himself. Among these prints, the jellyfish (or medusae) plates stand out for their intricate detail and artistic flair, reflecting Haeckel's skill in rendering the delicate structures of these marine organisms.

Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919) was a proponent of Darwinism and sought to synthesize the fields of art and science. In "Kunstformen der Natur," he aimed to capture the aesthetic beauty of the natural world and to present biological organisms as works of art. The jellyfish illustrations are particularly notable for their symmetry and the way they convey the ethereal and translucent qualities of these creatures. Haeckel's work has been both praised for its artistic merit and criticized for sometimes overemphasizing the symmetry and beauty of the organisms, potentially at the expense of scientific accuracy.

The jellyfish plates in "Kunstformen der Natur" have had a lasting impact on both art and science, influencing early 20th-century art movements such as Art Nouveau and Surrealism, as well as contributing to the field of marine biology. Haeckel's jellyfish illustrations continue to be celebrated for their contribution to scientific illustration and are often cited as examples of the interconnectedness of natural forms and artistic expression.
