Elements of Life

Auteur: Wendorf, Richard (Librarian, Houghton Library, Librarian, Houghton Library, Harvard University)
Editeur: Oxford University Press
This ambitious study focuses on the great age of English portraiture, from the the arrival of Van Dyck (1632) to the publication of Boswell's Life of Johnson (1791), in order to establish the grounds of comparison between biography and portrait-painting - two arts that have often been linked in a casual way but whose historical interrelations remain almost entirely unexplored.
