Course Catalog Description:
Diverse ways in which making of art and scientific knowledge intersected in early modern Europe. Connections between scientific curiosity and visual arts in major artists (e.g., da Vinci, Durer, Vermeer, Rembrandt). Artfulness of scientific imagery/diagrams, geographical maps, cabinets of curiosities, and new visual technologies, such as the telescope and microscope.
Class Notes:
In Fall Semester 2022, the course will center on dismantling the imagined "Two Cultures" divide separating STEM from the arts and humanities. Interrogating the myth of a seventeenth-century "Scientific Revolution" that created the modern distinction between science and art, the course will explore how the visual arts were essential to the science of Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Robert Hooke, and the members of the Royal Society of London, and how sciences like geometry, optics, chemistry, and physics were shaped by the practices of visual art and picture making. The course will end with specific case studies of the development between 1500-1800 of modern art-sciences like human anatomy along with the earth sciences of cosmology, geography, geology, cartography, and anthropology. Students will leave the course with a much more sophisticated understanding of how art and science are not separate domains, but two interrelated aspects of our modern ways of knowing.
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."
