He embodied the Dutch Age of Enlightenment spirit, emphasizing toleration, secularization, classification of knowledge, and popularization. Protestantism, especially the Lutheran Church, was against idolatry. Thus, the arts were secularized, and landscape and still-life paintings were popularized.

After returning to the Low Countries in 1767, Brandes quickly received a parish minister position in the Lutheran congregation in Doetinchem. He remained there for eight years before moving to Batavia (now Jakarta, Java) on the recommendation of Amsterdam’s Lutheran church council, where he became a reverend in the Dutch East India Company (VOC) until 1785.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBrandes stayed in Java for six years and then ministered to VOC communities in Sri Lanka and South Africa before returning home in 1787. As strongholds of the Dutch East India Company, both had thriving Dutch communities in Colombo and Cape Town, which required a minister’s services. However, Brandes’s talents extended beyond that of a preacher to drawing, and he produced a valuable and insightful collection of studies of both areas. He recorded everything he saw, describing Javanese, Sinhalese, and African social culture. His study was genuinely exemplary and remained a testament to the Dutch Enlightenment.

Jardine was the leading authority on salmon and trout in the British Isles. An excellent sportsman, his preeminent knowledge of the species was intimate and personal, and his expertise in the field was so noted that in 1860 he was appointed to the Royal\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCommission on the Salmon Fisheries of England and Wales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eJardine, perhaps best known for his Naturalist’s Library series, was also an ardent angler. His estates were in the fertile fishing areas near the rivers Annan and Tweed, placing him in a perfect position geographically to explore his fascination with salmon and trout. His independent research, and artistic inclinations, culminated in the finest\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eand most comprehensive monograph on these fish ever produced in the British Isles, and perhaps in the world, British Salmonidae.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe magnificent, large-scale plates of the British Salmonidae included four of the salmon at various stages of its development, four of the sea-trout, one of the ferox, two of the brown trout, and one of the vendace. No artist better captured the sport of salmon and trout fishing, nor the appearance of the species themselves.

Simcoe, Ontario, Lynnwood Art Centre, 4 August-3 September 1989 (a selection) Like his fellow artist-naturalists in the nineteenth century, William Pope was a lover of nature and a sportsman. Contrary to popular belief, sport hunters are, in fact, often passionate about nature and wildlife. They do not see their actions as simply killing the animal but rather about their skill and ability to outwit their prey. The artist and naturalist William Pope was no exception and he enjoyed capturing evocative drawings of North American wildlife while traveling through the wilderness and enjoying the pursuit of the hunt. Born in Kent, England, Pope came to North America for the first time in 1834. He traveled in the United States, eventually moving on to southwestern Ontario on and off through the 1850s, finally settling permanently in Ontario. William Pope is universally considered Canada’s first artist-naturalist. His detailed drawings of birds and other native fauna are often compared to John James Audubon’s works.

Simcoe, Ontario, Lynnwood Art Centre, 4 August-3 September 1989 (a selection) Like his fellow artist-naturalists in the nineteenth century, William Pope was a lover of nature and a sportsman. Contrary to popular belief, sport hunters are, in fact, often passionate about nature and wildlife. They do not see their actions as simply killing the animal but rather about their skill and ability to outwit their prey. The artist and naturalist William Pope was no exception and he enjoyed capturing evocative drawings of North American wildlife while traveling through the wilderness and enjoying the pursuit of the hunt. Born in Kent, England, Pope came to North America for the first time in 1834. He traveled in the United States, eventually moving on to southwestern Ontario on and off through the 1850s, finally settling permanently in Ontario. William Pope is universally considered Canada’s first artist-naturalist. His detailed drawings of birds and other native fauna are often compared to John James Audubon’s works. This collection comes directly from the artist’s family and is the most extensive grouping of Pope watercolors in private hands. Other examples can be found in the Baldwin Collection of Canadiana at the Toronto Public Library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilliam Pope made a conscious decision to highlight wildlife by giving the primary subject delicate coloring in watercolor; whereas, the foreground and background are in a monotone pen and ink.

His approach to fly-fishing was based on the premise that “the angler with a knowledge of entomology, possesses a great advantage, and is able readily to select a fly.” He made his intended audience clear in introducing The Natural Trout Fly and Its Imitation (1912). His go-to handbook was explicitly for the enthusiast fly fisher who possesses the naturalist tendency to classify to enhance their angling craft, not the conventional entomologist.  In the essence of literary trends of his period, West compared his audience to “followers of the immortal Walton who prefer wading in a pellucid stream to the intricacies of an entomology.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this poetic approach to a previously scientific subject, there were diversions from traditional natural science terminology.  Instead of accepting the well-known entomological names of the insects described, West invented an entirely new nomenclature. His reason being, he believed that many anglers devoted too much attention to Ephemeroptera (species of mayflies) and not nearly sufficient to other insects eaten by the trout. He intended to provide anglers with broad knowledge, not an encyclopedic representation of all aquatic insects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImagery played an influential role in West’s guide. The author pointed out different characteristics comparing species by shape, color, scale, and texture and aided in multi-step instruction in preparing artificial flies through illustrated plates.
