Author: Leonahard, Karin:
Title: The Fertile Ground of Painting. Seventeen-Century Still Lifes and Nature Pieces.
Description: 2021, (22,5 x 30 cm), 304 pp. English, 162 colour ills., 5 maps, hardcover. 17th-Century Netherlandish Still Life painting actively participated in the intellectual discourse of natural philosophy and the natural sciences, even though art history until recently described it, somewhat simplifying, as realistic-representative painting. We urgently need a rehabilitation of the notion of Mimesis. The author restarts the discussion, by putting more emphasis on the historical notions of Nature and Image. She examines how mimetic structures acquired a biotic reproductive capacity in the 17th century. Still Life painting thematizes the ability of Nature and Art to produce similarities and is therefore predestined for a theorization of mimetic strcutures of Art in general.
