In this talk, Professor DeLue will share insights from her current research and teaching on the relationship between art and science in nineteenth century Europe and North America, focusing in particular on her study of images from the field of ornithology, the scientific study of birds. She will discuss how the ideas and methods of art and science intersect and collide in illustrations by figures such as Mark Catesby, Elizabeth Gould, John James Audubon, and Martin Johnson Heade, and she will consider what stories these admixtures can tell us about the past and its legacies in the present.
