摘要
《安第斯山的自然画卷》从视觉上呈现了洪堡将自然界视为相互联系的整体的理念。该图绘作品于1807年出版,是洪堡植物地理学散论的组成部分,也是该领域的奠基之作,它们聚焦洪堡美洲之行(1799—1804)的主要发现,对当时的植物研究产生了较大影响。在随后的二十年,洪堡继续在巴黎进行一系列今天不太为人所知的植物地理学研究。通过这些研究,洪堡努力探索构建全世界植物地理学的方法,大批的手稿也表明洪堡曾为此收集植物与地理数据,并进行关联分析。然而,洪堡于1825年前后与合作者孔特酝酿的《一种双半球的植物地理学方案》一书,试图整合其全球性研究计划,却未能付梓。
The“Naturgem?lde der Anden”(Physical Tableau of the Andes)offers a visual representation of Alexander von Humboldt’s view of nature as an interconnected whole.Humboldt published this graphic in 1807 as part of his“Essay on the Geography of Plants,”which focused on findings from his American journey(1799-1804)and had a major impact on the botanical research of the period.Much less known today are Humboldt’s plant geographic investigations,undertaken in Paris in the two decades that followed this field-defining publication.With these studies,Humboldt sought methods to create a plant geography of the entire world.Countless manuscripts in his estate show how he collected and correlated botanical and geophysical data for this endeavor.Yet,the book project“Geography of the Plants of the Two Hemispheres,”which Humboldt conceived around 1825 together with his collaborator Carl Sigismund Kunth and with the intention of synthesizing his global research agenda,failed.
