Summary
Alejandro Vergara-Sharp’s upcoming book Clara Peeters explores the life and work of the pioneering Flemish still-life painter. As one of the few women artists of her time, Peeters mastered the art of depicting luxurious banquets and subtly included self-portraits in reflective surfaces. This book highlights her role in shaping 17th-century still-life painting and the cultural world of early modern Antwerp.
