A Study of Vermeer, Revised and Enlarged edition
"An exemplary book about seeing: about what the mind can do with great art. Like the sublime paintings which are its subject,A Study of Vermeeris full of sensual and spiritual pleasures."—Susan Sontag"A rigorously searching analysis of the psychology and subject matter of a master whose paintings are as enigmatic as they are beautiful. This revision is not so much an improvement of the 1979 text as an elaboration of its insights, and with some very interesting reconsiderations."—Guy Davenport
