How can we use visual and material culture to shed light on the
past? Ludmilla Jordanova offers a fascinating and thoughtful
introduction to the role of images, objects and buildings in the
study of past times. Through a combination of thematic chapters and
essays on specific artefacts - a building, a piece of sculpture, a
photographic exhibition and a painted portrait - she shows how to
analyse the agency and visual intelligence of artists, makers and
craftsmen and make sense of changes in visual experience over time.
Generously illustrated and drawing on numerous examples of images
and objects from 1600 to the present, this is an essential guide to
the skills that students need in order to describe, analyse and
contextualise visual evidence. The Look of the Past will encourage
readers to think afresh about how they, like people in the past,
see and interpret the world around them.
