Material World: The Intersection of Art, Science, and Nature in Ancient Literature and its Renaissance Reception: edited by Guy Hedreen, Leiden, Brill, 2021, 328 pp., €125.00/$151.00 (cloth) The essays chosen for this anthology were taken from a conference held April 20-21, 2018, in Florence, Italy, at the Dutch University Institute of Art. Again, I lean toward to the Renaissance articles, such as "Into the Wild: Living Landscape and Wonderment in Renaissance Art", by Dennis Geronimus, so I will give just a short precis of this contribution.
