Publisher Notes
Analyzes how the works of Vermeer reflect seventeenth-century life and the birth of globalization, in a historical study that identifies significant objects in key paintings while explaining how they also serve to document their time's growing web of trade throughout the world.
Media Reviews
"What emerges from [Brooks's] technique is a vivid portrait of the 17th century as the first great age of globalization....[E]ach item in Vermeer's studio implies a whole world of commerce."
