| Professor emerita
of art history at Berkeley University and a specialist in 17th-century
Dutch art. Professor Alpers has published in Art History and
other journals. She is the author of Rembrandt’s Enterprise
and the authoritative but controversial Art and Describing,
an analysis of the visual culture in the Netherlands in the
17th century. Her unorthodox and widely debated views on visual
sensibility have had a profound influence on the study of 17th-century
art. |
