Vermeer's hat
2009
Timothy Brook examines objects depicted in Johannes Vermeer's 17th-century paintings to trace the global trade networks and cultural connections that linked Europe to Asia, the Americas, and other parts of the world during the early modern period. The book uses these material details as windows into understanding how globalization was already shaping civilization in Vermeer's time.
