{"product_id":"a-closer-look-erika-langmuir-9781857096279","title":"A Closer Look: Landscape","description":"Landscape is probably the most popular type of painting, but anyone who has ever been disappointed by vacation photographs knows how difficult it is to turn a view into a picture. This book shows how artists in past centuries translated outdoor space and light into paint, and how landscape imagery evolved from mere ornament into a visual metaphor of the human condition. The story is told from its beginnings in Roman mural decoration, through the Renaissance transformation of landscape into a vehicle for feelings and ideas, to the Impressionist revolution and beyond. The continuing relevance of art to how we see the world, and our place in it, is demonstrated through a practical discussion of optics of real and painted landscape, illustrated with works from the National Gallery, London. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished by National Gallery, London\/Distributed by Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erika Langmuir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1857096274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781857096279\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Gallery London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Erika Langmuir","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078245740799,"sku":"9781857096279","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b4947f90-5d4e-43d7-a51a-6e6f9bc46340.jpg?v=1685474384","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-closer-look-erika-langmuir-9781857096279","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
