Claudia Swan Art, science, and witchcraft in early modern Holland

Jacques de Gheyn II (1565-1629)

Jacques de Gheyn II was an acclaimed painter, draftsman, and printmaker in the Dutch Golden Age. In this richly illustrated book Claudia Swan gives an account of the rise of scientific naturalism in Dutch art and explores De Gheyn's work, his naturalistic work as well as his fantastic imagery, especially his representations of witches. The book sets into context early modern ideas about the reciprocity between visual representation and descriptive science.
