"Art of Nature" is an astonishing visual record of the exploration of parts of the natural world that had never previously been documented. It features many of the greatest natural history artists of the last 300 years - Merian, Bartram, Ehret, the Bauer brothers, Audubon and Gould. Some were seeking fame as scientists or artists, others sought financial gain or at least the prospect of earning a living in what they loved doing. For some it also provided them with the opportunity to present their view of nature to a wider community. Whatever the reasons, few would have contradicted Humboldt's comment that he was spurred on by an uncertain longing for what is distant and unknown, for whatever excited my fantasy: danger at sea, the desire for adventures, to be transported from a boring daily life to a marvellous world. Continent by continent Judith Magee draws on the unrivalled collections of the Library of the Natural History Museum to illustrate the development of natural history art through the centuries and its crucial role in furthering people's appreciation of nature all around the world.

评分《发现之旅》和《大自然的艺术》都看了，两本有很多类似之处，简单作一比较：首先，两本都是讲自然绘画史的书，都是以画为主，涉及的画家有很多重复的，不过画好像没有重复的。前者以十次探险编排，比较有故事性，但不全面；后者以各大洲来编排，比较全面，但每个都不详细。两...
评分大自然激活人类的探索欲 ——读朱迪丝·马吉《大自然的艺术》 博物画与博物学一样反映了人与大自然的千丝万缕联系，与人们的“生活世界”息息相关。概而言之，博物学具有很强的外向性，它和人类文明的发展基本同步。研究表明，不管是什么样的艺术形式，都能在大自然中找到其根...
