Knowledge gained through the natural sciences makes lasting changes in the structures of perception. The artist must delve into the circumstances of reality. The artist aims to create a replica of nature: the beauty and natural growth patterns of the wood in furniture, colouration in glassworks, the exact reproduction of geological structures in painting and prints, as well as the imitation of agates and amethysts on porcelain.
