![]() Warren: Yeah, it was a very serendipitous moment, as Peter said. Miller: Well, Dana Warren, what was it like to hear that there were experts who could actually help you find the helpful pieces? It ended up involving a much larger trans-disciplinary team across multiple institutions and we’ve been at it for a few years now. And I said to him, I remember it very clearly, “well, I think an art historian can help you pick out the pieces that might be of value to you.” And it was in that moment that the collaboration was born. And he mentioned to me that he had always imagined that paintings or sketches could be a potential tool for historical ecologists, but that these questions of bias, the way in which representation is not photographic in a painting, were always preventing ecologists from drawing on that resource. I needed him to define the parameters of what that even meant. And just in the course of chit chat, Dana was telling me about his interest in historical ecology. How did the two of you first get talking about art and historical ecology?īetjemann: I met Dana because our kids were in preschool together and I do sort of think that trans-disciplinary work often has a lot of moments of chance that drive a particular collaboration, and this is a great example of that. I understand that this collaboration happened, it seems at least starting by chance. They collaborated on this study and they join us now with more details on how art and science can talk to each other.

A new study from Oregon State University shows that some 19th-century landscape paintings are accurate enough to aid scientists who are researching historical forest systems. When you look at a painting in a gallery or a museum, you can’t always tell how much is accurate and how much is the product of artistic license.
