During the 16th century, the study of nature gained importance, partly due to the rise of the Scientific Revolution. Art played a crucial role in documenting the natural world and provided accessible visual material for scientific research. Illustrations circulated among European courts, from the Medici to Emperor Rudolf II, fueling artistic and scientific curiosity.
