Ernst Haeckel

German, 1834–1919

Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919) è stato un zoologo, naturalista e artista tedesco le cui illustrazioni estremamente dettagliate rivelavano la simmetria nascosta del mondo naturale.

La sua opera principale, Kunstformen der Natur ("Forme d'Arte nella Natura", 1899–1904), raccolse un centinaio di lastre litografiche di radiolari, meduse, sifonofori, orchidee, licheni e innumerevoli altri organismi, disposti con l'occhio di un designer per il pattern e l'equilibrio. Queste lastre hanno plasmato il design dell'Art Nouveau e rimangono tra le illustrazioni scientifiche più riprodotte mai realizzate, un raro punto d'incontro tra biologia e arte.
