Description

Explore the intersection of art and science through coloured shadows in this scholarly examination by Paul Smith. The book traces how artists and scientists including Buffon, Goethe, and Philipp Otto Runge observed and described the vivid, ephemeral coloured shadows that appear at dawn, dusk, and by candlelight. Smith synthesises methodologies from art history, psychology, and neuroscience to explain what makes these optical phenomena worthy of aesthetic appreciation and their genuine epistemological significance. This multidisciplinary approach reveals how depictions of coloured shadows have shaped both artistic practice and scientific understanding. Ideal for art historians, scientists, and anyone interested in how perception, colour theory, and visual culture intersect, this Routledge publication offers fresh insights into why these beautiful natural effects have captivated observers across centuries.
