These sixteen essays reveal Hervert's discriminating artistic eye and poetic sensibility, one that revels in irony, humor, and a satirist's appreciation of the absurd. An inveterate museum-goer, he focuses on the art of the Dutch masters, using it as a stepping-off point for a thoroughly individual and entertaining examination of the foibles, genius, and character of the Dutch people as a whole. The result is an unorthodox and revealing glimpse into the past that gives us a keener understanding not only of a distant people, but of ourselves as well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ecco Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45410044969111,"sku":"9780880013208","price":1290.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780880013208.webp?v=1767917342","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/still-life-with-a-bridle-essays-and-apocryphas-9780880013208","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
