If flowers could talk...In Forever Flowers, conservator Sven Van Dorst offers a different perspective on a vibrant genre, the seventeenth-century Flemish flower still life.

De Heem, and their fellow flower painters.With the latest in modern analysis and imaging technologies as well as reconstructions of historical techniques he penetrates the deepest layers of their works, bringing to light features not seen for nearly four hundred years.

Each flower still life tells a story. Of perilous journeys, status and prestige, fear of death, love for a child, or our search for knowledge in a world that is ever-changing even as we try to hold on to it.For flowers do talk, and through these pages you can hear them.This book is published on the occasion of the exhibition Garden of Delights.

¡Prepárate para la vorágine artística! ¡Sí, agárrate fuerte porque Historia del Arte en cómic vuelve a pisar el acelerador y se pone a mil revoluciones! El Profe y los agentes de la historieta van a sumergirte en un torbellino de cambios, en la epoca que vio morir el viejo mundo del Antiguo Regimen y alumbro la modernidad. Pasaremos del rococo y el neoclasicismo al romanticismo y al realismo, hasta la mismisima antesala del impresionismo. Codeate con genios como Gericault, Delacroix, Manet, Turner, Constable y, por supuesto, ¡el inigualable Francisco de Goya! Revoluciones no es solo un paseo por galerias y museos, es una inmersion total en una era de cambios sismicos, donde el arte refleja la revolucion de las ideas que fue la Ilustracion, el motor imparable de la Revolucion Industrial y el nacimiento de la democracia que supusieron las revoluciones burguesas. ¡A los pinceles, ciudadanos!
