My goal for this project was to explore the digital humanities by creating a three-dimensional interpretation of a Baroque, illustrated title page from one of Wellesley's Special Collections Rare Books - or, a book-scape. The book I chose to work from is Francis Bacon's De Augmentis scientiarum: of the advancement and proficience of learning, or the partitions of sciences. The title page was illustrated by William Marshall, a seventeenth century British engraver. Although I've taken some liberties with the content of my scene, both for practical and artistic purposes, each element that I've added thus far has been made to reflect some aspect of Marshall's design.
