"How can we use visual and material culture to shed light on the past? Ludmilla Jordanova
offers a fascinating and thoughtful introduction to the role of images, objects and
buildings in the study of past times. Through a combination of thematic chapters and
essays on specific artefacts - a building, a piece of sculpture, a photographic exhibition
and a painted portrait - she shows how to analyse the agency and visual intelligence
of artists, makers and craftsmen and make sense of changes in visual experience over
time. Generously illustrated and drawing on numerous examples of images and objects
from 1600 to the present, this is an essential guide to the skills that students need
in order to describe, analyse and contextualise visual evidence. The Look of the Past
will encourage readers to think afresh about how they, like people in the past, see
and interpret the world around them"--
