Exploring the world of natural history drawings from the Renaissance, 'Eye for Detail' shows how the function of identification led to image manipulation techniques that will look uncannily familiar to the modern viewer. Egmond shows how the format of images in nature studies changed dramatically during the Renaissance period, as high-definition naturalistic representation became the rule during a robust output of plant and animal drawings. She examines what visual techniques like magnification can tell us about how early modern Europeans studied and ordered living nature, and she focuses on how attention to visual detail was motivated by an overriding question: the secret of the origins of life. Beautifully and precisely illustrated throughout, this volume serves as an arresting guide to the massive European collections of nature drawings and an absorbing study of natural history art of the sixteenth century. 650 0 $a Natural history illustration $x History. 650 0 $a Natural history $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Animals in art $x History. 650 0 $a Plants in art $x History. 650 0 $a Scientific illustration $x History. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211025405.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20180118010242.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170706034836.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=10BEA4262FC611E7A3652FCCDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
