In this intriguing book, E.H. Gombrich, who was one of the world's
foremost art historians, traces how cast shadows have been depicted
in Western art through the centuries. Gombrich discusses the way
shadows were represented--or ignored--by artists from the
Renaissance to the 17th century and then describes how Romantic,
Impressionist, and Surrealist artists exploited the device of the
cast shadow to enhance the illusion of realism or drama in their
representations. First published to accompany an exhibition at the
National Gallery, London, in 1995, it is reissued here with
additional color illustrations and a new introduction by esteemed
scholar Nicholas Penny. It is also now available as an enhanced
eBook, with zoomable images and accompanying film footage.
