Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Featuring newly attributed paintings, this book is an engaging exploration of Clara Peeters's contributions to the genre of still-life painting. Clara Peeters (ca. 1587-1636)--a Flemish still-life painter--was one of the most talented and creative artists among the early practitioners of this genre in Europe during the early seventeenth century. She specialized in paintings of food and was prominent among the artists who shaped the traditions of the Netherlandish ontbitjes (breakfast pieces) and banketjes (banquet pieces). Not only was she part of the first generation to specialize in this type of still-life painting, Peeters was the only Flemish woman known to have focused on genre painting in the early seventeenth century. Indeed, she was one of only a few women to dedicate her professional life to painting in early modern Europe. In this monograph, author Alejandro Vergara-Sharp discusses what is known of Peeters's biography while presenting the historical and cultural context behind her art, style, and techniques. Clara Peeters establishes the artist as a leader in her field by examining Peeters's artistry and the material culture reflected in her paintings. This timely volume sheds light on the limitations that Peeters encountered because of her gender, and how she responded to them in her art, while assessing her importance as a painter of still life. Featuring newly attributed paintings, this book is an engaging exploration of Clara Peeters's contributions to the genre of still-life painting.

Condición: New. Idioma/Language: Español. ¿Por qué decimos que una obra de arte es buena? ¿Qué es lo que queremos decir? Se ha escrito poco sobre la calidad en el arte, un concepto esquivo que, al perfilarse demasiado desde la subjetividad y los prejuicios, resulta difícil de concretar y definir. Se rebela Alejandro Vergara Sharp contra esta dificultad y, con una prosa cercana y directa, defiende que ?un buen conocimiento de la historia del arte nos proporciona elementos de juicio que hacen que nuestra argumentación no sea simplemente subjetiva? Invita entonces al lector a iniciar con él un viaje de investigación y, a la manera socrática, va desvelando, y desvelándose a sí mismo, una a una las cuestiones que pueden ayudar a esclarecer el término. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
