‘Vermeulen’s comments far exceed everything published so far (...).’ Christian Rümelin, editor of Print Quarterly|Picturing Art History by Ingrid R. Vermeulen ‘is a well-written work with an original and topical theme, and is based on thorough scholarly research.’ Debora J. Meijers, Associate Professor of Art History of the Modern Period, University of Amsterdam|Picturing Art History is a ‘fundamental chapter in the history of art. It demonstrates how important reproductions of works of art have been in the development of ideas on art history (...). For the first time an analysis is presented of the way art history texts were accompanied by images. (...) The three case studies highlight different relevant aspects of the subject as such. (...) More generally, the book contributes to the study of how mankind became familiar with artworks without having to see them firsthand.’ Ger Luijten, Director Fondation Custodia, Paris
