Proteus: A Nineteenth Century Vision (2004)

An exploration of the intersection of science, Proteus centers on the fascinating life and career of 19th century German naturalist Ernst Haeckel and his obsession with radiolarians, a species of microscopic marine protozoa. Illustrating the infinite variety of their intricate skeletal structures challenged Haeckel to reconcile his personal contradictions, as an artist and a scientist, as well as the larger contradictions of his age between the material and the spiritual worlds. David Lebrun delivers heady doses of philosophy, history, aesthetics, religion and evolutionary biology made all the more potent by his dazzling presentation of Haeckel’s scientific drawings.
