Rana (Latonia gigantea) - Frog (Latonia gigantea) Skeleton, approximately 3.7-15.7 million years ago, Bosnia Fossil 32x28x2.5 cm Provenance: market (Italy) Conservation status. Surface: 70% (brittle and friable matrix). Conservation status. Support: 80% (small restorations, consolidation) Latonia gigantea is an extinct species of frog of the genus Latonia, which lived in the Upper Miocene-Lower Pliocene, 15.97 to 3.6 million years ago (Langhiano-Zanclean), in Germany, Hungary, Romania, Greece, Spain, Italy and the Balkans. Although not much is known about the feeding habits of this animal, the only living species of the genus latonia, namely nigriventer, exhibits traits that are primitive and ancestral to the genus latonia and therefore can be used as a comparison to establish the feeding and behavior of extinct species. Latonia nigriventer exhibits a robust cranial structure, as do the forelimbs. This leads to the conclusion that nigriventer is a frog with a durophagous diet, that is, a diet based on shell-bearing organisms, particularly gastropods and terrestrial isopods. The diet of latonia gigantea would thus be less versatile than that of other large frogs: rather than feeding on small vertebrates, it is more credible that this amphibian fed mainly on snails. This would go a long way toward explaining its disappearance in Europe, as during the glacial periods of the Pleistocene, there was a drastic decrease in its prey. The fossil dates to the Neogene, Miocene stage, and was excavated in the Gračanica coal mine in the Bugojno Basin in Bosnia.

In 1885, the family moved to Munich, where he attended the School of Applied Arts. The archaeologist Orazio Maruchi made it possible for him to make copies in the Vatican collections. Their quality was so good that it was suggested that he train as a church painter. For this purpose, Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel became a pupil at the Tanzenberg monastery near Klagenfurt. In 1899, he moved to Vienna and enrolled at the Vienna Academy in the general painting school under Christian Griepenkerl. Around 1900, he worked for the Cologne chocolate manufacturer Ludwig Stollwerck with designs for Stollwerck collector pictures. After returning from a trip to Hungary, in 1902, he enrolled with Alfred Roller at the arts and crafts school of the k. k. Museum of Art and Industry. In 1905 Jungnickel went to Munich to study at the Academy of Fine Arts with Professor Marr and returned in 1906 to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts (William Unger). His breakthrough came with the publication of stencil spraying images he invented after the art magazine The Studio. In 1906, he exhibited at the Vienna Secession, but never became a member. Employee of the Wiener Werkstätte. Probably his most important work for the WW were designs for an animal frieze for a children's room in the Palais Stoclet, Brussels. Jungnickel exhibited his first color woodcuts at the Kunstschau Wien in 1908, which was followed in 1909 by a series of color woodcuts of animals from Schönbrunn Zoo. At the International Art Exhibition in Rome in 1911, he received the graphic artist prize and in Amsterdam the gold medal. He was awarded the State Medal of the International Exhibition for the Book Trade and Graphics Bugra n Leipzig, 1914, and in 1915, he won the silver and bronze medals of the International Exhibition in San Francisco.

Jungnickel - Studies from the Spanish Riding School. In the 1920s, he undertook numerous journeys that took him to Germany, Holland, Italy and Yugoslavia. In Italy and Yugoslavia, mainly pictures of coastal landscapes emerged. Apparently Jungnickel was also a student at the Bauhaus in Weimar; the annual folder published in 1919 by the Society for Reproducing Art in Vienna "Students of the Bauhaus" contains his lithograph “Reitschule” (Riding School). From 1924, Jungnickel was a member of the Wiener Künstlerhaus, where he took part in exhibitions.
