- Class Description:
- This course will introduce you to the diverse ways in which the making of art and the making of scientific knowledge intersected in early modern Europe. We will explore connections between scientific curiosity and the visual arts by considering major artists (van Eyck, da Vinci, Durer, Vermeer, Rembrandt, etc). We will also consider the artfulness of visual materials we tend to classify as "scientific," including scientific imagery and diagrams, geographical maps, cabinets of curiosities, and new visual technologies such as the telescope and microscope. In this way the course will cut across the famous "two cultures" divide that allegedly divides the arts and humanities from the sciences by exploring the interpenetration of art and science in Europe at their moment of initial modernization.
