This important addition to our understanding of art history's
masterworks puts some of the world's most famous paintings under a
magnifying glass, to help us look much, much closer at images we
might have thought we knew well.Guiding our eye to the minutiae of
subject and symbolism, Rose-Marie and Rainer Hagen help us become
detectives of details, solving the mysteries of a masterpiece
through its most small and subtle elements. Is the bride pregnant?
Why is just one candle burning in the chandelier? And what does the
mirror in the background reveal? As they address these and many
more intricacies in some of art's most celebrated scenes, the
authors not only offer us a vastly enriched appreciation of these
paintings, but also shed light on the fashions and lifestyles,
loves and intrigues, politics and people that first informed and
inspired these works. Delve in and be dazzled, as even the most
familiar panels and canvases come alive anew in all the intricacies
of their composition and in a very real sense of context of time
and place.
