Abstract

In the seventeenth century, an early member of the Royal Society named Nehemiah Grew (1641–1712) was among the first naturalists to produce illustrations of microscopic plant life. These images were completed according to a set of visual conventions that were informed by his peers but also reflect a distinctive set of concerns and a particular understanding of the natural world. In order to better understand the specificity of Grew’s representations of the microscopic world, this article considers his work in relationship to that of his direct contemporary, the Italian naturalist and physician Marcello Malpighi (1628–1694).

有争议的愿景

17世纪，英国皇家学会的一位早期成员尼希米·格鲁(1641-1712)是最早绘制微观植物插图的博物学家之一。这些图像是根据一套视觉惯例完成的，这些惯例是由他的同龄人告知的，但也反映了一套独特的关注和对自然世界的特殊理解。为了更好地理解格鲁对微观世界表现的特殊性，本文将他的作品与他的直接同时代，意大利博物学家和医生马尔切洛·马尔皮吉(1628-1694)的作品联系起来。

期刊介绍： Nuncius is a peer-reviewed, international journal devoted to the historical role of material and visual culture in science. Nuncius explores the material sources of scientific endeavor, such as scientific instruments and collections, the specific settings of experimental practice, and the interactions between sciences and arts. The materiality of science is a fundamental source for the understanding of its history, and the visual representation of its concepts and objects is equally crucial. Nuncius focuses on the exploration of increasingly-varied modes of visual description of observed reality. Founded in 1976, Nuncius was originally published as Annali dell''Istituto e Museo di Storia della Scienza.
