Focusing on three celebrated northern European still life
painters"Jan Brueghel, Daniel Seghers, and Jan Davidsz. de
Heem"this book examines the emergence of the first garland painting
in 1607-1608, and its subsequent transformation into a widely
collected type of devotional image, curiosity, and decorative form.
The first sustained study of the garland paintings, the book uses
contextual and formal analysis to achieve two goals. One, it
demonstrates how and why the paintings flourished in a number of
contexts, ranging from an ecclesiastical center in Milan, to a
Jesuit chapter house and private collections in Antwerp, to the
Habsburg court in Vienna. Two, the book shows that when viewed over
the course of the century, the images produced by Brueghel, Seghers
and de Heem share important similarities, including an interest in
self-referentiality and the exploration of pictorial form and
materials. Using a range of evidence (inventories, period response,
the paintings themselves), Susan Merriam shows how the pictures
reconfigured the terms in which the devotional image was
understood, and asked the viewer to consider in new ways how
pictures are made and experienced.
