Sections of the exhibition
I. Looking at Animals
In the Renaissance the emphasis was on observation as well as learning almost animals - what they looked similar as well as how they moved. Animals were studied closely as well as described inwards infinitesimal detail. At the time, novel lands as well as novel animals as well as birds were beingness discovered. In fourth dimension novel breeds were developed.The artwork shows us both the novel discoveries as well as the novel breeds as well as the breeds which accept after been lost or gone out of fashion.

The ruler of Gujarat, Sultan Muzafar II (1511-26) had presented it to Alfonso d'Albuquerque, the governor of Portuguese India. Albuquerque passed the gift on to Dom Manuel I, the Rex of Portugal. The rhinoceros travelled inwards a send total of spices.
On arrival inwards Lisbon, Dom Manuel arranged for the rhinoceros to acquire by 1 of his elephants (according to Pliny the Elder's Historia Naturalis ('Natural History') (AD 77), the elephant as well as rhinoceros are bitter enemies). The elephant plainly turned as well as fled.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 description of the rhinoceros shortly reached Nuremberg, presumably alongside sketches, from which Dürer prepared this drawing as well as woodcut.
No rhinoceros had been seen inwards Europe for over G years, as well as so Dürer had to run but from these reports. He has covered the creature's legs alongside scales as well as the torso alongside hard, patterned plates.

II. Aesthetic as well as Moral Prejudices
What I didn't know is that French Republic had Buffon (Comte de Buffon, Georg Louis LeClerc (1707-1788),) who was a gentleman who was hugely influential inwards the evolution of a Natural History of animals. His book, published shortly earlier the French Revolution contains some beautiful plates of animalsHis neat run is the Histoire naturelle, générale et particulière; as well as it tin undoubtedly claim the merit of having been the foremost run to acquaint the previously isolated as well as plainly disconnected facts of natural history inwards a pop as well as to a greater extent than oft than non intelligible form......The exhibition suggests that Buffon's distinction betwixt noble as well as ignoble animals led to phenomena such equally phobias almost insects. As a result, some species were neglected past times scientists as well as artists alike. Art these days overturns these values as well as artists await at animals that accept long been denigrated. César’s Bat as well as Louise Bourgeois’s Spider are skillful examples.
The edition most highly prized past times collectors, on concern human relationship of the beauty of its plates, is the first, which was published inwards Paris (1749-1804) inwards forty-four quarto volumes, the publication extending over to a greater extent than than 50 years. In the training of the foremost 15 volumes of this edition (1749-1767) Buffon was assisted past times Daubenton, as well as after past times P. Guéneau de Montbéliard, the abbé G.L.C.A. Bexon, as well as C.N.S. Sonnini de Manoncourt. The next 7 volumes cast a supplement to the preceding, as well as appeared inwards 1774-1789, the famous Époques de la nature (1779) beingness the 5th of them. They were succeeded past times ix volumes on the birds (1770-1783), as well as these over again past times v volumes on minerals (1783-1788). The remaining viii volumes, which consummate this edition, appeared after Buffon's death, as well as comprise reptiles, fishes as well as cetaceans.

Artworks demonstrated fauna sensitivity as well as the whole make of their irresistible expressions.V. Otherness : Exotic Animals
Exotic animals accept been a condition symbol as well as sought after past times Kings as well as Popes. They were collected inwards menageries to which some artists had privileged access.
In 1793, the Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes sparked a craze for zoos as well as their popularity has never waned. French Republic so enabled artists to come upwards some animals: this was the kickoff of fauna icon alongside major figures such equally Barye as well as Delacroix. The creative mortal constitute an increasingly varied make of models inwards the menagerie.
