Introduction
Biologist and PhD student in History of Art at University of Lisbon, now finishing the doctoral thesis "Art in Natural History and Natural History in Art (1770-1810)”.
My research is centered on the binomial Art-Science and in the interrelationship of Art and Natural History (botany and zoology), by studying fauna, flora, natural habitats and climate elements represented in scientific illustrations produced by Portuguese, Spanish and British artists and naturalists during the long 18th century.
