Masterpieces of Impressionism & Post-impressionism

Suzanne L. Stratton-Pruitt

By the end of the 16th century, Europe, Africa, and Asia were connected to North and South America via a vast network of complex trade routes. This led, in turn, to dynamic cultural exchanges between these continents and a proliferation of diverse art forms in Latin America. This monumental book transcends geographic boundaries and explores the history of the confluence of styles, materials, and techniques among Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas through the end of the colonial era--a period marked by the independence movements, the formation of national states, and the rise of academic art. Written by distinguished international scholars, essays cover a full range of topics, including city planning, iconography in painting and sculpture, East-West connections, the power of images, and the role of the artist. Beautifully illustrated with some three hundred works--many published for the first time--this book presents a spectacular selection of decorative arts, textiles, silver, sculpture, painting, and furniture. Scholarly entries on each of the works highlight the various cultural influences and differences throughout this vast region. This groundbreaking book also includes an illustrated chronology, informative maps, and an exhaustive bibliography and is sure to set a new standard in the field of Latin American studies. --Publisher description.

Two nearly identical van Eyck paintings have presented extremely thorny and complex issues for art history. An ocean separates the paintings, with one in the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the other in the Galleria Sabauda in Turin, Italy, but they share a legacy of questions. Concerns about their origins, attribution, dating, iconography and related geology remain.This book was published on the occasion of their respective restorations. Research from technical and historical perspectives by scholars provide a broader dais to view these precious works. A book as intriguing and beautiful as the subject it contains.
