Science and art - a gap, some might say a yawning chasm, has always existed between the two. Then occasionally, just every now and then, someone comes along who attempts and succeeds in closing the gap between the two.
So it was with German scientist Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel. In 1899 he began to publish Art Forms of Nature. A contemporary of Darwin, Haeckel would, through his lithographic prints, change the way that many considered the relationship between art and science.
