German biologist and artist Ernst Haeckel committed his life studying much-flung fauna and flora, drawing each of their odd specificities having a large scientific detail. Haeckel made hundreds of such renderings throughout his lifetime, works which were used to describe his biological discoveries to a broad audience. In addition to those visual histories, Haeckel also found many microbes, even coined several scientific conditions known now, such as ecology, phylum, and stem cell.
A brand new book from Taschen titled The Art and Science of Ernst Haeckel summarize the 19th-century artist-biologist‘s most crucial visual functions and publications across a hefty 704 pages. The compendium comprises 450 drawings, watercolors, and sketches from his research, which has been in substantial aid of Darwin’s theory of development.
