Written in four sections: Introduction, The Early Work, The Later Work, and Jacopo Bassano in Perspective; the book covers his career in depth, with excellent use of illustrations. Widely acknowledged as one of the first landscape and genre painters in Italy, Jacopo Bassano was highly regarded during his career for his brilliant treatment of light and colour and for his innovative rural themes. By tracing a remarkably consistent use of imagery grounded in a spiritual perspective, Aikema seeks to change our conception, not only of the importance of Bassano's oeuvre, but also of the original function and development of genre and landscape painting in Northern Italy as compared to that in The Netherlands.
