Summary
In the visual arts of the 15th to the early 19th centuries in Europe, animals were understood in relation to the human world. At the same time, increasing investigation of the natural world engaged artists in the problems of accurate representation: prints were particularly important in distributing information across a wide audience. This illustrated book explores perceptions of the natural world as seen through the eyes of imaginative artists.
