Ulisse Aldrovandi (1522-1605) is one of the founders of modern natural history. He directed the Botanical Garden of the University of Bologna for a long time and built up a huge collection of natural specimens. Aldrovandi is also remembered for his 17-volume work "Storia Naturale'". He commissioned numerous painters, draughtsmen and other craftsmen to produce the more than 4000 illustrations that complement this work.
