Ernst Haeckel
Ernst Haeckel, as stated by Wiki was a 'German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor, marine biologist, and artist who discovered, described and named thousands of new species'
His collection of scientific illustrations, not to mention his discoveries, are extremely impressive. His attention to detail and use of colour is impeccable, considering these are 'scientific illustrations' and are meant to be as accurate to the specimens as possible, they capture the subjects truly but also have a unique and 'artistic' aesthetic.
For this brief, this is definitely an artist (and the millions of other things he was) to investigate and learn from.
