Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 107
A Vermeer painting shows a military officer in a Dutch sitting room, talking to a laughing girl. In another canvas, fruit spills from a blue-and-white porcelain bowl. Familiar images that captivate us with their beauty--but as Timothy Brook shows us, these intimate pictures actually give us a remarkable view of an expanding world.

An Intriguing Story of the beginning of West met East
Revisado: 01-07-24
This book is totally enjoyable! Based on a careful observation of a number of Vermeer paintings the author leads us into the societies behind these images. He weaves an intricate story of the beginning of West met East in the 16th and 17th centuries with details of colorful and adventurous characters involved. This is particularly interesting if one compares what this book tells us with what is happening with the current relation between China and the West. It seems like history is repeating itself.
