Nicolas Poussin: Dialectics Of Painting

Présentation de l'éditeur In this highly original and innovative study of Nicolas Poussin, one of seventeenth-century Europe's greatest artists, Oskar Batschmann presents a series of connected studies that offer new ways of interpreting the work and ideas of this brilliant and complex figure. This superbly illustrated book is a polemical challenge in a field of art-historical research that has often lost its way in insoluble disputes and erudite details. Biographie de l'auteur Professor Dr Oskar Batschmann is Chairman of the Institute of the History of Art at the University of Giessen in West Germany.
