5.0 out of 5 stars An impressive collection of scholarly essays, May 21, 2001
This review is from: Science and the Visual Image in the Enlightenment (European Studies in Science History and the Arts, 4) (Hardcover)
Science And The Visual Image In The Enlightenment is an impressive collection of scholarly essays which examine the role illustrations played in the creation and dissemination of scientific knowledge during the 18th century, the commonly referred to "Age of Enlightenment". These articulate, informative, engaging essays include Domesticating Science in the Eighteenth Century (John Heilbron); Joseph Wright of Derby - Art, Science and the Validity of Artistic Language (Werner Busch); The Rhetoric of Experiments and Scientific Illustrations in the Enlightenment (William R. Shea); Chemical Imagery and the Enlightenment of Matter (Marco Beretta); Some Reflections on Geometrical Diagrams and Mathematical Physics (Fernand Hallyn); Naturalistic Illustrations and Collections in Tuscany in the Eighteenth Century (Lucia Tongiorgi Tomasi); Instruments and Illustrations in Eighteenth-Century Astronomy (Jim Bennett); Illustrated Course of Natural Philosophy in the Southern Low Countries, 1670-1797 (Carmelia Opsomer); Women Illustrators of Natural History in the Enlightenment (Julia Lindkvist); Catalogues of Dutch Botanical Gardens in the Enlightenment (Carla Oldensburger-Ebbers). Science And The Visual Image In The Enlightenment is enthusiastically recommended to students of the history of science in general, and European 18th century science illustration in particular.
