New Haven, CT, Yale University Press 1993 Bound, cloth with original dustjacket (protected with removable cellophane), 558pp., 19.5x26.5cm., 262 ills. in b/w. and col., in very good condition. As new. ISBN 9780300055405. Over the last four centuries, historians have increasingly turned to images in their attempts to understand and visualize the past. In this wide-ranging and engrossing book, a distinguished art historian surveys the various ways that they have adopted for making use of this material, and he examines the specific objects that became available to them through excavation, the creation of private collections and public museums, easier means of travel, and the startling displacements brought about by vandalism and art exhibitions. Francis Haskell begins by discussing the antiquarians of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries who brought to light and interpreted as historical evidence coins, sculptures, paintings discovered in the catacombs beneath Rome, and other relics surviving from earlier ages. He explains that, in the eighteenth century, historians gradually began to acknowledge the significance of such visual sources and to draw on them in order to validate and give color to their narratives or to utilize them as foundation stones for a new branch of learning?the history of culture. Later writers followed the example of Michelet in making inferences from the visual arts to indicate the whole mentality of an age, while (more erratically) others saw in them the harbingers of political, religious, or social upheavals. Haskell concludes by discussing those cultural historians of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Burckhardt and Huizinga above all, who did not merely give the visual arts a prominent and necessary place in their interpretations of the past, but in some ways actually interpreted the past through the visual arts. Francis Haskell is professor of the history of art at Oxford University. His numerous publications include Patrons and Painters: A Study in the Relations between Italian Art and Society in the Age of the Baroque, Rediscoveries in Art, Past and Present in Art and Taste: Selected Essays, and, with Nicholas Penny, Taste and the Antique: The Lure of Classical Sculpture, 1500-1900.
