Getty Publications will be releasing a new monograph on Clara Peeters next month. The new volume has been penned by Alejandro Vergara-Sharp who is the senior curator of Flemish and Northern European paintings at the Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid.
According to the blurb:
In this monograph, author Alejandro Vergara-Sharp discusses what is known of Peeters’s biography while presenting the historical and cultural context behind her art, style, and techniques. Clara Peeters establishes the artist as a leader in her field by examining Peeters’s artistry and the material culture reflected in her paintings. This timely volume sheds light on the limitations that Peeters encountered because of her gender, and how she responded to them in her art, while assessing her importance as a painter of still life.
