Europe Views the World, c.1500–1700
New Hardback Illustrated
Postscript summary
Illustrated with 16 colour plates and many black-and-white images, this study examines the way European artists including Rembrandt, Velasquez and Van Dyck envisaged the rest of the world and its peoples during the Age of Exploration. A survey of medieval depictions of fantastic beings is followed by chapters on the Ottoman Empire, the Americas, Africa, India and the Far East, each concluding with its inhabitants’ countervailing representations of Europeans.
Product information
Full publisher description
Europe Views the World examines the wide diversity of images that Europeans produced to represent the wide variety of peoples and places around the globe during and after the so-called 'Age of Exploration'. Beginning with the medieval imagery of Europe's imagined alien races, and with an emphasis on the artists of Northern Europe, Larry Silver takes the reader on a tour across continents, from the Americas to Africa and Asia.
Encompassing works such as prints, paintings, maps, tapestries and sculptural objects, this book addresses the overall question of an emerging European self-definition through the evidence of visual culture, however biased, about the wider world in its component parts. Unique to this book, each chapter concludes with an 'in response', analysing representations of Europeans by indigenous peoples of each continent to give a deeper and more multi-faceted account of the impact of Europe's view of the world.
