實物特徵
總結:Once considered marginal members of the animal world (at best) or vile and offensive creatures (at worst), insects saw a remarkable improvement in their status during the early Renaissance. This quickened interest was primarily manifested in visual images - in illuminated manuscripts, still life paintings, the decorative arts, embroidery, textile design, and cabinets of curiosity. This book explores the ways in which such imagery defined the insect as a proper subject of study for Europeans of the early modern period.
