Vermeer's Hat : The seventeenth century and the dawn of the global world
Timothy Brook (Author)
From the epicentre of Delft in the Netherlands, the author takes the paintings of Johannes Vermeer and uses details of them as a series of entry points to the widest circles of world trade and cultural exchange in the seventeenth century. His vision embraces many stories - of an African slave and a Chinese aesthete, and of Vermeer himself.
