Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. An illuminating survey of the golden age of natural history art and illustration, with profiles of the artists, naturalists, collectors, and publishers who helped form our modern scientific view of the worldThe Art of Biodiversity is the first book to offer a broad overview of the golden age of natural history and botanical artan art of biodiversity. For two centuries, artists and naturalists worked together to reveal animals and plants with the same care that art had always lavished on human subjects. In 30 chapters, The Art of Biodiversity explores the individuals and ideas behind this international movement. It includes hundreds of full-page color illustrations illuminated by in-depth captions. Its a story about art thats not in the art history books, and a story about science thats missing from histories of science. Around 1700, Europeans set out to document the natural world in its dazzling and confounding glory. At the beginning of this period, people everywhere relied on folkloric knowledge about local flora and fauna to satisfy human needs or tell religious stories. By the end of the 19th century, a vista encompassing millions of species over millions of years had been revealedan organic universe shaped by evolution. The idea that each plant and animal was, in the words of the poet and naturalist Johann Wolfgang vonGoethe, a small world that exists for itself, had taken root. Before photography and film became practical mediums in the 20th century, the rapidly growing visual record of species was created collaboratively by naturalists and artists, working with adventurers, specimen collectors, printers, colorists, and publishers. The Art of Biodiversity introduces the reader to these extraordinary men and women who focused exquisite artistic skills on nature, traded in exotic seashells and butterflies, collected bird and monkey specimens in neotropical rainforests, dredged strange invertebrates from the depths of the ocean, peered through magnifying lenses at insects, dug prehistoric bones out of the earth. This innovative book is a journey to the past, but its also a reflection of the present day. As recently as a decade ago, old volumes were locked away in research libraries. But In 2007, the online Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) was founded with the ambition to hold a copy of every public domain book and journal ever published on biology. Caught in the nets of this haul are the great illustrated natural history books, and today there are more than 300,000 exquisite pictures of nature in the BHL. The best of them are gathered here in book form for the first time, expertly selected by Eric Himmel and accompanied by insightful commentary and explanatory captions. Art and science converge in thrilling fashion in this richly illustrated and groundbreaking book. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardback. Etat : New. Strikingly original and abundantly illustrated, The Art of Biodiversity surveys the golden age of natural history art, exploring the alliance between scientists and artists that first revealed the astonishing diversity of life on Earth.With more than 330 color illustrations of surpassing beauty, this book reveals a story about art that's not in the art history books, and a story about science that's missing from histories of science. Here, such giants as Linnaeus, Buffon, Cuvier, Humboldt, and Darwin cross paths with superb artists, including Merian, Redouté, Audubon, and Haeckel, among many others.An essential visual companion to popular narratives like Andrea Wulf's The Invention of Nature and Jason Roberts's Every Living Thing, this volume provides a definitive archival record of the era that defined modern biology.Between 1700 and 1900, an art movement unveiled nature's great secret: the global diversity of life-forms. Centuries before the word "biodiversity" existed, naturalists began to glimpse the reality that lay behind Charles Darwin's lyrical evocation of nature's "endless forms most beautiful."The naturalists recruited artists to create a family album of Earth, with every picture a precise drawing of a species of plant or animal, and so science and art, for the first and last time, went exploring together.This art first appeared in vividly illustrated books that, in a world without photography or film, offered readers a vastly expanded vision of nature. The Art of Biodiversity introduces the reader to the extraordinary men and women who created these books. They focused exquisite artistic skills on nature, traded in exotic seashells and butterflies, collected bird and monkey specimens in tropical rainforests, dredged strange invertebrates from the depths of the ocean, peered through magnifying lenses at insects, and dug prehistoric bones out of the earth.After sinking out of sight in the twentieth century, biodiversity art resurfaced in the twenty-first in myriad forms that reach millions of people on the Internet, as the natural history books in the world's great libraries were digitized and made available to all.Chronicling the only art movement that successfully aligned the goals of art and science, for the transcendent purpose of documenting and understanding the natural world, The Art of Biodiversity is a must-have for historians of science, collectors of botanical and zoological art, and anyone captivated by the enduring beauty of the living world.…
