The works of the Amsterdam painter Otto Marseus van Schrieck question the relationship between art and science during the seventeenth century. The painter was acquainted with important scholars in many countries, including Johannes Swammerdam and Cassiano dal Pozzo. His oeuvre shows the paradigm change from book-based scholarship to empirical science. The gaze is always directed towards reality. Animal and plant studies served as preparation for his works, which in fact form the illustrations to the scientists' research. Together with them the painter belonged to an international republic of scholars whose image of Europe is still relevant for our worldview today.
