History and its images - F. Haskell

In this engrossing book, an eminent art historian surveys the ways that historians have made use of visual sources-sculptures, paintings, coins, and other relics-in their attempts to understand and visualize the past. Francis Haskell examines the specific objects that were used and discusses a wide range of historians-from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to later writers such as Michelet, Burckhardt, and Huizinga who made inferences from the visual arts to indicate the whole mentality of an age.
