After Nature

Exploring the intersection of art, science, and philosophy, this work delves into the lives of three men: the Renaissance painter Matthias Grunewald, Enlightenment botanist Georg Steller, and the author himself. Each character grapples with humanity's relationship to nature, revealing a journey from ignorance to a complex understanding of the world. The narrative weaves together themes of beauty and cruelty, reflecting on how landscapes can embody both comfort and the scars of history.
