- English abstract
- This book (written in Spanish) offers a re-evaluation of Hispanic Baroque art and visual culture from the perspective of early modern science, exploring processes of visualization and knowledge-production linked to artistic practice, collecting and natural historical enquiry in the period ca. 1570-1650. Divided into three interconnected parts (Accumulation, Representation, Preservation), the book explores the world of curiosities and art collecting and its contribution to the generation and circulation of natural knowledge, the representation of natural motifs in printed treatises, paintings and art theoretical discourse, and the interpretation of nature, particularly the exotic, from an emblematic, religious and epistemic perspective.
