Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780948462108.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this highly original and innovative study of Nicolas Poussin, one of seventeenth-century Europes 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.\n\n\"Like Poussins paintings, this is a highly polished work. In prose of great elegance, Batschmann achieves an almost perfect balance between exposition and polemic.\"—Times Literary Supplement\n\n\"This is a tough but rewarding book, focusing not so much on the context of Poussins book – its extrinsic framework – but intently on the work itself, and the attitude of Poussin to his subject-matter, from history painting to the holy family, and what Batschmann calls tragic landscape.\"—The Sunday Times\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Reaktion Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44967993901109,"sku":"ByrdShop_0948462108","price":226.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780948462108_a156a97d-e64a-4a70-8ba8-3e1148e30466.jpg?v=1778891301","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/nicolas-poussin-dialectics-of-painting-9780948462108","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
