The Invention of Nature The Art of Natural

The Invention of Nature is a complete visual journey through humankind's depiction of animal and plant life, from the very first cave paintings made over 30,000 years ago to the present.

With over 300 images covering cabinets of curiosity, illustrated herbaria, bestiaries, classical paintings, natural history illustrations, taxidermized specimens and photography, the book weaves together a fascinating chronological story of nature.

Giovanni Aloi's first book, Art & Animals, was published in 2011, and his book on Lucian Freud's depictions of plants was published in 2019. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Antennae, the Journal of Nature in Visual Culture and currently teaches at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Sotheby's Institute of Art.
