Abhandlung

Bird artists and illustrators in Central Europe as mediators between art and science. – Links between art and science are briefly depicted using the examples of bird artists and their bird illustrations. From the very beginning of the precise study of nature in the Renaissance, there had been no distinction between these two social spheres of work for a long time. Their definite separation apparently only became obvious towards the end of the 18th century. Until today, there remains a relatively close link and a wide overlap especially in scientific illustration. It appears to be left to the subjective approach of the users and consumers as to what they consider to be art or science, i.e. where the line is drawn. In conclusion, the statement is justified as to why in the unforeseeable future illustrations and photography will have the right to exist side by side in science.
