Title: Clara Peeters.
Description: PRE ORDER 03 2025, (19 x 25 cm), 128 pp. 59 colour ills., hardcover. In the series Illuminating Women Artists. This book serves to establish Clara Peeters, one of the most talented and creative among the early practitioners of still-life painting in 17th-century Europe, as a leader in her field. It discusses what is known of the artist's biography and examines the historical and cultural context of her art, her artistry and the material culture reflected in her paintings. As the only Flemish woman known to have focussed on still-life in the early 17th century and one of the few women to dedicate her professional life to painting in early modern Europe, Clara Peeters encountered limitations because of her gender. This timely book sheds light on how she responded to them in her art and assesses her importance as a painter of still-life._Alejandro Vergara-Sharp is Senior Curator of Flemish and Northern European Painting at Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid. His publications include the exhibition catalogue The Art of Clara Peeters (Prado, 2016).
