As representações visuais tiveram ainda uma função destacada na interpretação de nascimentos de monstros considerados como prodígios, por serem portadoras de um alto conteúdo simbólico. Já nos finais do século XVII e na primeira metade do século XVIII, as imagens passaram também a ser bastante significativas no estudo médico e científico dos seres monstruosos, especialmente no âmbito das actividades e publicações promovidas pela Royal Society of London e a Académie Royale des Sciences de Paris.
