    Vermeer's Hat: The Seventeenth Century and the Dawn of the Global World (repost)

    Vermeer's Hat: The Seventeenth Century and the Dawn of the Global World By Timothy Brook
    Publisher: Bloomsbury Press 2007 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 1596914440 | PDF | 11 MB

    In the hands of an award-winning historian, Vermeer’s dazzling paintings become windows that reveal how daily life and thought—from Delft to Beijing—were transformed in the seventeenth century, when the world first became global.
    A painting shows a military officer in a Dutch sitting room, talking to a laughing girl. In another, a woman at a window weighs pieces of silver. Vermeer’s images captivate us with their beauty and mystery: What stories lie behind these stunningly rendered moments? As Timothy Brook shows us, these pictures, which seem so intimate, actually offer a remarkable view of a rapidly expanding world.
