DEPETRIS, Carolina. Arte y ciencia en el viaje pintoresco de Frédéric de Waldeck. Península [online]. 2009, vol.4, n.2, pp.13-31. ISSN 1870-5766.

The objective of this article is to explain the link between a certain conception of art and science in the so-called "picturesque travels," in vogue from the mid-eighteenth century to the first half of the nineteenth century. We will use Frédéric de Waldeck's journey through Yucatan as an example, using two types of documents: his text, Voyage pittoresque et archeologique dans la province d'Yucatan (Amerique Centrale), pendant les années 1834 et 1836, and the paintings and engravings that he produced during his trip.

Palabras llave : picturesque travel; Frédéric de Waldeck; Yucatan; nature; gardens; ruins.
