Brunelleschi's Egg: Nature, Art, and Gender in Renaissance Italy
Mary D. Garrard
Feminist historians of science and philosophy have shown that during the Italian Renaissance, the profound shift in the concept of nature - from an organic worldview to the scientific - was assisted by the gender metaphor that defined nature as female. This book proposes that the larger shift was both anticipated and mediated by the visual arts.
