Possible definitions for fabricii
Fabricius
Danish entomologist. He studied at Uppsala Univ. with C. Linnaeus, and from 1775 taught not only natural history but also economics and finance at the Univ. of Kiel. He advanced theories progressive for his time, particularly the view that new species and varieties could arise through hybridization and by environmental influence on anatomical structure and function. His taxonomic research was based on insect mouthparts rather than their wings.
Fabritius
Dutch painter. He studied with Rembrandt in the early 1640s, then settled in Delft, entering its painters' guild in 1652. The earliest work attributed to him, The Raising of Lazarus (c.1645), was strongly influenced by Rembrandt, but he soon developed a personal style marked by cool color harmonies, subtle lighting effects, and illusionistic perspective. His portraits and his genre and narrative paintings influenced P. de Hooch and J. Vermeer. All but about a dozen of his paintings were destroyed by an explosion of the Delft powder magazine, which killed him as well.
