Abstract

Since the time of Aristotle, the making of knowledge and the making of objects have generally been considered separate enterprises. Yet during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, the two became linked through a “new” philosophy known as science. In The Body of the Artisan, Pamela H. Smith demonstrates how much early modern science owed to an unlikely source-artists and artisans. From goldsmiths to locksmiths and from carpenters to painters, artists and artisans were much sought after by the new scientists for their intimate, hands-on knowledge of natural materials and the ability to manipulate them. Drawing on a fascinating array of new evidence from northern Europe including artisans’ objects and their writings, Smith shows how artisans saw all knowledge as rooted in matter and nature. With nearly two hundred images, The Body of the Artisan provides astonishingly vivid examples of this Renaissance synergy among art, craft, and science, and recovers a forgotten episode of the Scientific Revolution-an episode that forever altered the way we see the natural world.

Abstract

The well-illustrated articles in Observing the World through Images offer insights into the uses of images in astronomy, mathematics, instrument-making, medicine and alchemy, highlighting shared forms as well as those peculiar to individual disciplines. Themes addressed include: the processes of image production and communication; the transformation of images through copying and adaptation for new purposes; genres and traditions of imagery in particular scientific disciplines; the mnemonic and pedagogical value of diagrams; the relationship between text and image; and the roles of diagrams as tools to think with. Contributors include: Isabelle Pantin, Jennifer Rampling, Samuel Gessner, Renee Raphael, Karin Ekholm, Hester Higton, and Katie Taylor.

Abstract

"Overlap' wishes to explore the field between art and science. Artists and scientists share an unbridled curiosity to understand, explain and even change the world around us. the Young Academy searched for connections, synergies, and conflicts between contemporary artistic and scientific practices. The exploration of this borderland -- the overlap -- between science and art resulted in a 'paper exhibition' with 52 artistic contributions and 12 essays, matching the rhythm of a calendar year. Each contribution offers a unique perspective in a dialogue that does not result in an unambiguous picture. This in-between area is a challenging no man's land where different rules and vocabularies coexist. This friction can be inspiring and allow for the unexpected. Can this be the key to gain access to that which lies beyond the borders of our current knowledge?"-- "Overlap wil het veld exploreren tussen kunst en wetenschap. Kunstenaars en wetenschappers delen een ongebreidelde nieuwsgierigheid om de wereld om zich heen te begrijpen, verklaren en veranderen. De Jonge Academie ging op zoek naar dwarsverbanden, synergiën en conflicten tussen de hedendaagse artistieke en wetenschappelijke praktijken. De verkenning van dit grensgebied - de overlap - tussen wetenschap en kunst resulteerde in een 'expo op papier' die met 52 artistieke bijdragen en 12 essays het ritme van het jaar volgt. Ieder stuk biedt een uniek perspectief in een dialoog zonder eenduidig resultaat. Dit tussengebied is een uitdagend no man's land waar verschillende wetten en geplogenheden naast elkaar bestaan. De frictie prikkelt de verbeelding en maakt het onvoorstelbare denkbaar. Ligt net daarin de sleutel tot wat buiten de grenzen van ons kennen ligt?"--

Abstract

Joris Hoefnagel (1542–1600) a internationalisé la peinture miniature flamande au XVIe siècle comme pratiquement aucun autre artiste. Il a également enrichi les sciences naturelles, en particulier l'entomologie, avec son observation fine avec des représentations exquises. En regardant ses œuvres époustouflantes, il semble d'autant plus étonnant qu'il a développé son talent d'autodidacte. Joris Hoefnagel appartient au cercle des artistes et humanistes hautement qualifiés qui ont travaillé dans les plus importantes cours européennes à la fin du XVIe siècle. C'est dans cet environnement que ses illuminations surgissent dans de vastes codex de contenu spirituel et profane. Après avoir terminé un apprentissage de peintre à Anvers, son fils Jacob Hoefnagel (1573–1632/33) a suivi les traces de son père à la cour impériale de Prague et excellait dans les œuvres de chambre, mais se concentrait principalement sur les scènes mythologiques et allégoriques. Avec un œil analytique et des textes scientifiquement fondés, le volume richement illustré introduit les mondes picturaux des miniaturistes, qui étonnent l'admiration du spectateur alors comme aujourd'hui.
