Seller's Description:
VG+ Matte color-printed boards with the title in white lettering down a purple spine. Pages: (9), 2-199. Profusely illustrated with color, black-and-white, and true-tone images. "Contrary to what Kant believed about the Dutch (and their visual culture) as "being of an orderly and diligent position" and thus having no feeling for the sublime, this book argues that the sublime played an important role in seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture. By looking at different visualizations of exceptional heights, divine presence, political grandeur, extreme violence, and extraordinary artifacts, the authors demonstrate how viewers were confronted with the sublime, which evoked in them a combination of contrasting feelings of awe and fear, attraction and repulsion. In studying seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture through the lens of notions of the sublime, we can move beyond the traditional and still widespread views on Dutch art as the ultimate representation of everyday life and the expression of a prosperous society in terms of calmness, neatness, and order. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture, architectural history, and cultural history." Contents are as follows: Hupsos: Franciscus Junius and the Reception of On the Sublime--Sublimis and le merveilleux: Dramatizing, Performing, and Picturing Phaethon's Fall--Vreese Godts: The Sublime and the Disappearance of God--Sublime Landscapes and Seascapes--Magnificence: The Politics of Architecture--The Medusean Gaze: Terror and the Sublime--Wonder by Touch.
