Books
Challenging the textual and iconographic approach to Dutch art which uses methods developed for understanding Italian art, the author claims that the art of 17th century Holland was rooted in a visual culture, reinforced by a new scientific emphasis. This received the Eugene M.Kayden Award in 1983.
