Patrick syme (69 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Originally published in 1814, this remarkable volume features 110 colour swatches paired with poetic descriptions that capture nature's vibrant palette. In the eighteenth century, German geologist Abraham Gottlob Werner (1750-1817) set out to establish a standard reference guide to colour for use in the general sciences. Decades later, Scottish botanical artist Patrick Syme (1774-1845) extended Werner's work, refining it into a comprehensive catalogue of the most prominent shades and hues found in nature. The result was a timeless compendium of colour that showcases the beauty of nature across the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms. Each colour swatch in Syme's edition of Werner's Nomenclature of Colours is accompanied by examples found in nature, offering a practical tool for scientists, artists, and explorers alike. Notably, Charles Darwin used this guide during his voyage on the HMS Beagle to accurately describe his observations. This exquisite collection of colours celebrates the harmony of art and science, capturing the beauty found in the natural world.…

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Publicada por primera vez en 1814, La nomenclatura del color de Werner es una extraordinaria guía de los colores del mundo natural aclamada por artistas y científicos durante más de dos siglos, incluido Charles Darwin, quien lo usó para identificar colores en la naturaleza durante su viaje en el HMS Beagle. A finales del siglo xviii, el mineralogista Abraham Gottlob Werner se percató de la necesidad de un esquema de color estandarizado que permitiera a la ciencia describir con precisión las diferencias cromáticas más sutiles. Este esquema fue adaptado después por el pintor floral Patrick Syme , quien, recurriendo a los minerales descritos por Werner, creó las tablas de colores de este libro, que completó con ejemplos del reino animal y vegetal. Con esta espléndida edición facsímil, el que fue un recurso invaluable para naturalistas y antropólogos de todo el mundo, se pone ahora al alcance de una nueva generación de artistas. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
