Altoon Sultan blogs about Polish poet and essayist Zbigniew Herbert's essays on Dutch Golden Age Painting.
Sultan writes: "Herbert takes us on a deep tour of Dutch 17th century painting in his 1991 book Still Life with a Bridle... he aims to write about Dutch 17th century painters in a down to earth way, not romanticizing their lives... What we see in Dutch paintings are everyday things, ordinary views."
