The Embarrassment of Riches : An Interpretation of Dutch Culture in the Golden AgeSchama, Simon
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Peter Bruegel the Elder (1525-1569), with his canvases of peasants in the fields and squares of Flanders, is was one of the world's great painters. Here Edward Snow undertakes a sustained meditation on a single Bruegel painting--the kaleidoscopic CHILDREN'S GAMES. This elegantly written and beautifully produced book shows us anew the power of great painting and the pleasures of passionate observation. 150 illustrations.
"...[A] colorless exercise in pedantry."
