Expertly and beautifully written, the essays probe, with concrete examples, the busy traffic between the eye and the mind during an important period of modernity. This book will handsomely reward careful readers. Highly recommended. --CHOICE This brilliantly conceived volume, exploring nineteenth-century art's relationship to contemporary science, is essential reading. Whether discussing peacocks, the wind's motion, or geological formations, these lucid and original essays reevaluate central questions about materiality and corporeality, illusions and the invisible, perception and subjectivity, and the intertwined operations of eye and brain. --Kate Flint, University of Southern California, Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, Sciences
