- Title
Vision and the Representation of Africans: On Historical Encounters between Science and Art.
- Authors
Phaf-Rheinberger, Ineke
- Abstract
By focusing on the Brueghel/Rubens painting Vision of 1617, it is argued that these two artists were very much aware of global expansion overseas. In consideration of this fact, they seem to suggest on their canvas that art and science both play with images but that there is a difference in the understanding of knowledge transmitted through the visual medium in the history of art and science.
