Informationen zum Autor Martin Kemp is Professor of the History of Art at the University of Oxford. He is perhaps best known as an expert in Renaissance art, and especially the work of Leonardo. Kemp himself studied both history of art and the natural sciences at Cambridge, and is as sure-footed in his treatment of the scientific context of imagery as he is in scholarly history of art. Among his books is the recent and highly successful Leonardo published by OUP. Klappentext Both artists and scientists have faced the challenge of representing the world in visual form - this book looks at the ingenious ways they have done so! from the Renaissance to the present day. Zusammenfassung Presenting an analysis of the interconnections between science and the visual arts, this book takes the reader on an illustrated journey from the Renaissance masters to the imagery of cutting-edge science. It considers the way in which artists and scientists have deceived the world and responded to its patterns.
