The Art of Describing
Dutch Art in the Seventeenth Century
Svetlana Alpers
Explore the dichotomy between Italian and Dutch masterpieces with Svetlana Alpers' fascinating study of 17th-century Dutch painting. Art history takes center stage as Alpers raises and explores issues of great psychological, scientific, and historical significance. This highly original book reformulates our understanding of Dutch art and energizes a system of values in which meaning is not "read" but "seen."
