On today’s tour, we join our tour guides, Xan and Joe, for an in-depth discussion concerning realism/illusionistic representation within two-dimensional art, both in contemporary trends and throughout art history, while using Hanneke Grootenboer, The Rhetoric of Perspective, which is primarily focused on the history of Dutch still life painting, as a point of entry into this topic.
