The "Virtual Menagerie": The Histoire des animaux Project.
- Authors
Guerrini, Anita
- Abstract
An essay is presented on the animal illustrations of French artist Sèbastien LeClerc that were compiled by architect Claude Perrault in the folio "Mèmoires pour servir à l'histoire naturelle des animaux." The author states that the animals were drawn according to specific artistic conventions according to Perrault's empiricism and observation. She claims the animals in the illustrations were artifacts, created rather than natural.
