We urgently need a rehabilitation of the notion of Mimesis. The author restarts the discussion, by putting more emphasis on the historical notions of Nature and Image. She examines how mimetic structures acquired a biotic reproductive capacity in the 17th century. Still Life painting thematizes the ability of Nature and Art to produce similarities and is therefore predestined for a theorization of mimetic strcutures of Art in general.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvey Miller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47889107288215,"sku":"9781912554065","price":18378.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781912554065.webp?v=1781174250","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-fertile-ground-of-painting-17th-century-still-lives-and-nature-pieces-9781912554065","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
