Woodland Imagery in Northern Art reconnects us with the woodland
scenery that abounds in Western painting, from Albrecht Durer's
intense studies of verdant trees, to the works of many other
Northern European artists who captured 'the truth of vegetation' in
their work. These incidents of remarkable scenery in the visual
arts have received little attention in the history of art, until
now. Prosperetti brings together a set of essays which are devoted
to the poetics of the woodlands in the work of the great masters,
including Claude Lorrain, Jan van Eyck, Jacob van Ruisdael, Peter
Paul Rubens, Rembrandt and Leonardo da Vinci, amongst others.
Through an examination of aesthetics and eco-poetics, this book
draws attention to the idea of lyrical naturalism as a conceptual
bridge that unites the power of poetry with the allurement of the
natural world. Engagingly written and beautifully illustrated
throughout, Woodland Imagery in Northern Art strives to stimulate
the return of the woodlands to the places where they belong - in
people's minds and close to home.
