Description

In a study that sweeps from Classical Antiquity to the seventeenth century, Robert D. Huerta explores the common intellectual threads that link the art of Johannes Vermeer to the philosophy of Plato. Examining the work of luminaries such as Plotinus, Nicholas of Cusa, St. Augustine, Ficino, Raphael, Keller, Galileo, Descartes, and Hoydens, Huerta argues that the concurrence of idealism and naturalism in Vermeer's art reflects the Dutch master's assimilation of Platonic and classical ideals, concepts that were part of the Renaissance revival of classical thought. Pursuing a Platonic path, Vermeer used his paintings as a visual dialectic, as part of his program to create a physical instantiation of the Ideal. This book is the result of years of reflection on the creative commonalities to be found in signal art and pioneering scientific discoveries. Review "An unusual and innovative book...[Huerta's review] is interesting and suggestive, especially in the context of 17th-century art and culture."--F. W. Robinson "Cornell University " About the Author Robert D. Huerta is an independent historian, focusing on the intersection between art and science during the early modern period.
