Specificatii
Microbial marvels Ernst Haeckel, the 19th-century pioneer who
captured the artistic beauty of the natural world Ernst Haeckel
(1834-1919) was a German-born biologist, naturalist, evolutionist,
artist, philosopher, and doctor, who spent his life researching
flora and fauna from the highest mountaintops to deepest ocean. A
vociferous supporter and developer of Darwin's theories of
evolution, he denounced religious dogma, abandoned an early career
in medicine, authored philosophical treatises, gained a doctorate
in zoology, and coined scientific terms which have passed into
common usage, including ecology, phylum, and stem cell. Haeckel's
colossal legacy has fascinated, confounded, and polarized
generations. But what was at the heart of his extraordinary life's
work? Rather like his intellectual forebear, Alexander von
Humboldt, Haeckel was motivated not only to discover but also to
explain. To do this, he created hundreds of detailed drawings,
watercolors, and sketches of his findings which he published in
successive volumes during the 20th century, including several
marine organism collections and the majestic Kunstformen der Natur
(Art Forms in Nature), which could serve as the cornerstone of
Haeckel's entire life project. Like a meticulous visual
encyclopedia of living things, Haeckel's work was as remarkable for
its graphic precision and meticulous shading as for its
understanding of organic evolution and cellular development. From
bats to the box jellyfish, lizards to lichen, and spider legs to
sea anemones, he emphasized the essential symmetries and order of
nature, and found biological beauty in even the most unlikely of
creatures. The prints not only furthered the study of natural
history but also influenced generations of 20th-century artists and
architects, from the emerging proponents of Art Nouveau to
architects such as Hendrik Petrus Berlage, whose Amsterdam
Commodities Exchange was inspired by Haeckel's illustrations. In
this book, we celebrate the scientific, artistic, and environmental
importance of Haeckel's work, with a collection of prints from
several of his most important tomes on marine biology, including
Die Radiolarien, Monographie der Medusen, Die Kalkschwamme: eine
Monographie, and Kunstformen der Natur. At a time when biodiversity
is increasingly threatened by human activities, the book is at once
a visual masterwork, an underwater exploration, and a vivid
reminder of the precious variety of life.Text in English, French,
