Bog beskrivelse
''Effortless and compelling, Brooks is a wonderful storyteller. I doubt I will read a better book this year.'' Sunday TelegraphEach of Vermeer''s paintings tells a story. In one, a military officer leans toward a laughing girl; in another, a woman stands by a window and weighs silver; in a third, fruit spills from a porcelain bowl onto a lavish Turkish carpet. Hiding in plain sight, these details hint at the intricate threads that bound Vermeer''s world together - the officer''s hat is made from North American beaver, bought with silver extracted from the mines of Peru, while beaver pelts were traded in their thousands for the Chinese porcelain so beloved by the Dutch in the Golden Age. From a view of Delft, Vermeer gives us the world.As a new Vermeer exhibition opens at the Rijksmuseum, the largest of its kind in history, Vermeer''s Hat offers a fascinating perspective on how the burgeoning forces of trade and commerce shaped Vermeer''s masterpieces.
