The exhibition examines how Humboldt's scientific ideas about nature related to aesthetics and imagery, as well as how they were interpreted by landscape artists from the nineteenth-century. The show will include paintings and drawings by Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900), Louis Remy Mignot (1831-70), Titian Ramsay Peale (1799-1835), and Norton Bush (1834-94), as well as a selection of European artists, such as Ferdinand Bellerman (1814-89), Johann Moritz Rugendas (1802-58), Albert Berg (1820-73), Anton Goering (1836-1905), Eduard Ender (1822-83), and the Victorian woman traveler Adela Breton (1849-1923). Also included in the exhibition are two works by artist Mark Dion (b. 1961) who offers a contemporary response to Humboldt's classification of nature"--Americas Society Website, viewed May 23, 2014. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 156-161). 505 0 $a Foreword : Unity of nature at Americas Society / Susan L.
