Цикл лекций об отношении естествознания к искусству был прочитан Джоном Рёскином в Оксфорде в 1872 году и позднее опубликован под названием "Орлиное гнездо". Лекции охватывают широкий круг тем, включая геологию, ботанику, зоологию и астрономию, и иллюстрируются многочисленными примерами, ведь, как утверждает Рёскин, без понимания мира природы невозможно создавать по-настоящему значимые произведения. Он учит искать вдохновение в природе, видеть прекрасное в обыденном, подчеркивая важность наблюдений, воображения и эмоций в художественном процессе.

A connection to nature is vital to our wellbeing. The sound of birds, the smell of tree oils, the effects of natural sunlight. Studies have shown that patients who can observe a natural scene through a hospital window recover faster, and lockdown proved that when most other aspects of life falls away, nature still feels like a necessity, not a luxury. But the majority of the world’s population lives in some form of urban environment, and by 2050, two thirds of humanity – nearly 7 billion people – are expected to live in towns and cities.
