The Lives Of Paintings
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
In sixteenth-century Venice, paintings were often treated as living beings. As this book shows, paintings attended dinner parties, healed the sick, made money, and became involved in love affairs. Presenting a range of case studies accompanied by over 150 plates, Elsje van Kessel offers a detailed examination of the effect that paintings and other two-dimensional images could exert and contributes to Venetian studies as well as engaging with wider debates on the attribution of life and presence to images and objects. The book does not have a dust jacket an there is some minor creasing at the base of the spine.
