- This 340 pages-long monograph is the product of years of doctoral and post-doctoral focused research work. Aimed at exploring the intersections of art, collecting and science in the early modern Hispanic context in the period ca. 1570-1650, and combining approaches and methodologies from several fields (art history, cultural history and the history of science, among others), the book offers new perspectives for a more integrated and multi-perspectival account of this rich and widely-studied period in the history of Spanish arts and culture.

- English abstract
- Written in Spanish this book offers a re-evaluation of Spanish Baroque art and visual culture from the perspective of early modern science, exploring processes of visualization and knowledge-production linked to artistic practice, art collecting and natural historical enquiry in the period ca. 1570-1650. Divided into three interconnected parts (Accumulation, Representation, and Preservation), it 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.
