Claudia Goldstein

Pieter Bruegel and the Culture of the Early Modern Dinner Party

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Claudia Goldstein mines a rich, interdisciplinary mix of sources to shed new light on the cultural history of sixteenth-century Antwerp. Recontextualizing some of Bruegel's work within the cultural nexus of the dining room, she offers a critical and entirely original examination of the function of early modern images for the people who owned and viewed them.
