These sixteen essays reveal Herberts discriminating artistic eye and poetic sensibility, one that revels in irony, humor, and a satirists appreciation of the absurd. An inveterate museum-goer, he focuses on the art of the Dutch masters, using it as a stepping-off point for a thoroughly individual and entertaining examination of the foibles, genius, and character of the Dutch people as a whole. The result is an unorthodox and revealing glimpse into the past that gives us a keener understanding not only of a distant people, but of ourselves as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49677127778544,"sku":"NEW0880013206","price":16.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/still-life-with-a-bridle-essays-and-apocryphas-by-herbert","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
