The great novelty of the painting Experiment with an Air Pump (1768) by Joseph Wright of Derby was to present science in the artistic center of attention that religion had occupied in a majority way until then. Two centuries later, and inspired by this work, the English poets Sue Hubbard and John Forth used the resource of ekphrasis to make a reflection on science from poetry. Their poetic compositions are in the voice of the scientist and that of one of the girls, respectively, and invite a reflection on the objectives and limits of science within postmodern society.
