This art book explores the interwoven themes of nature, time, and the human imagination during the Renaissance, this publication brings together more than 100 works of art—paintings, sculptures, tapestries, clocks, scientific instruments, manuscripts, and prints—by artists such as Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Jacopo Bassano, and Pieter Bruegel the Elder.

Essays by leading scholars examine how natural phenomena and the passage of time were visualized in sixteenth-century art and science, from the changing seasons and calendars to cosmology, alchemy, and the newly popularized study of natural history. The catalog also highlights the cultural prestige of collecting such imagery at the courts of the Habsburgs and the Medici.

A must-have volume for art historians, collectors, and anyone fascinated by the rich intersections of art, science, and the natural world.
