Description - Painting and Politics in Northern Europe by Margaret D. Carroll
"Painting and Politics in Northern Europe" offers a chronological account of political engagement in works by the early modern Northern European painters Jan van Eyck, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Peter Paul Rubens, and Frans Snyders. Offering fresh interpretations of canonical paintings, Margaret Carroll illustrates how these artists registered their pictorial responses to the political events and debates of their day. The imagery of gender and power was often intertwined with these debates. Considering a range of works, including Van Eyck's "Arnolfini Portrait", Bruegel's "Netherlandish Proverbs", and Rubens' "Life of Marie de Medicis" series, Carroll examines the ways in which these Netherlandish painters seized on that imagery and creatively transformed it into the materials of art.
