"This study uses Van Kessel's art as a distinctive lens through which to examine the
relationship between craft, curiosity, and the pursuit of natural knowledge in the
early modern period. Each chapter situates Van Kessel within a particular context
where art and natural history intersected in late seventeenth-century Antwerp. Taken
together, these investigations reveal how his production responded to a unique convergence
of circumstances in that city which included the growth of a popular, commercial strand
of natural history, a thriving culture of art collecting and connoisseurship focused
on local artists, and a burgeoning luxury industry. Van Kessel's material and conceptual
interventions into the representation of nature, such as his innovative, painted 'cabinets
without drawers' and witty signatures formed from insects and snakes, enabled him
to redefine the scope of natural historical illustration and negotiate the value and
status of the small-format cabinet picture."
