Interactions between art and nature
In this essay, Martí Domínguez invites us on an eye-opening journey through the history of art following a particular thematic thread: the perception of the natural world. Taking the reader from Giotto’s depiction of a lamb to Gaugin’s Polynesian women via the Italian and Flemish Renaissance, Romanticism and Impressionism, the author reflects on each artistic interpretation of nature in its myriad forms - including the concept of human nature as well as the landscapes which surround us.
Gazing through this naturalistic lens, After Nature reveals a whole host of new and surprising perspectives on different artworks, expertly detailing the lives of painters and some of their greatest creations in rich and evocative prose.
