La pintura holandesa del Siglo de Oro constituye uno de los momentos más singulares y revolucionarios de la historia del arte. Lejos de los grandes relatos mitológicos y religiosos que dominaron la tradicion italiana y flamenca, los artistas holandeses del siglo XVII volvieron su mirada hacia lo cotidiano: la vida domestica, los paisajes, los oficios, la intimidad burguesa y la naturaleza. Este "realismo" termino reivindicado por los criticos del siglo XIX fue, durante mucho tiempo, mal comprendido, hasta que autores como Theophile Thore-Burger, Hippolyte Taine y Eugene Fromentin le otorgaron un nuevo valor intelectual y estetico, demostrando que estas obras expresaban la identidad profunda de una nacion. El libro "explora este proceso de revalorizacion" y examina como estos criticos, influidos por las ideas de Hegel, interpretaron la pintura holandesa como la manifestacion del espiritu de una epoca. Su defensa del "ver por si mismo", centrada en la observacion directa de las obras, transformo para siempre la forma de estudiar el arte del siglo XVII y permitio rescatar a maestros que hoy consideramos fundamentales, como "Johannes Vermeer", antes casi desconocido. A partir de alli, el texto profundiza en la compleja relacion entre "realidad y apariencia", abordando como las escenas de genero, los paisajes y las naturalezas muertas esconden significados morales, politicos y simbolicos. La pintura holandesa no solo retrata la vida, sino que medita sobre ella: revela costumbres, construye identidades y produce "efectos de realidad" que impactan tanto en los espectadores del siglo XVII como en los de hoy. Con claridad y rigor, el libro muestra como esta tradicion pictorica disuelve la antigua oposicion entre realismo e idealismo, entre naturaleza e ideal, proponiendo nuevas formas de interpretar lo visible. A traves del analisis de autores clave, de la iconologia y de debates esteticos, esta obra invita a redescubrir un arte que convirtio lo cotidiano en una fuente inagotable de sentido. "Un recorrido profundo y accesible por una de las escuelas mas influyentes de la modernidad."

This book is the first major study of Edita Schuberts art published outside Croatia. Edita Schuberts body of work is strikingly diverse, spanning pioneering explorations of natural ecology in the 1970s to bold paintings in the spirit of the transavantgarde in the 1980s. She also created performance art on the streets of Dubrovnik and created installations that invited viewers into her world. Her later worksself-portraits of various kindsoffer profound meditations on memory, identity, and mortal- ity. Working in her studio in the Institute of Anatomy in Zagreb, she once compared her art with the practice of dissection, a precise and purposeful science which reveals the hidden territories of the human body. Often her subject was herself. The breadth of her artistic output seems to anticipate the "post-medium" condition of contemporary art. Yet when viewed together, strong lines of connection and continuity emerge, revealing a deeply intimate and single-minded vision of art.Edita Schubert (19472001) was an exceptionally prolific and inventive artist, active from the early 1970s until her untimely death at the age of 54 in 2001. A significant figure in Croatian and Yugoslav art, she exhibited at the Venice Biennale and the Biennale of Sydney and in galleries in Austria and the US, as well as frequently throughout Yugoslavia. Yet today, her art remains relatively little known.
