Vermeer's Hat, by Timothy Brook

In his book, Timothy Brooke discusses various aspects of world trade in the 17th century and how this region became interconnected as it is known today through the process of globalization It is. Most people tend to conceptualize the concept of globalization and its process. In my educational history, globalization is explained as a large company that provides various products and services on a global scale. In other words, globalization involves only large Fortune 500 companies and no one else is involved.

Timothy Brooke used an attractive method to investigate the early modern world trade patterns in his book "Vermeer's Hat: 17th Century and the World Dawn." Using the details of the five pictures by Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) and other descriptive evidence, Brooke gave readers a vision by presenting a complex and vast network connecting China and Europe through a global exchange I will spread it. In turn, the visible city of Leonard Blues: the arrival of Guangzhou, Nagasaki, Batavia and the United States captures the essence of cultural and social interaction among these three port towns. Bruce's work is beautifully decorated and has excellent bibliographies showing the historical role of these places in the economic life of each sea in the early stages of the world economy.

Any reader familiar with modern Vermeer literature must have noticed the rich image of Vermeer's paintings. This topic was mentioned at the beginning by P.T.A. Swillens (1950) and Lawrence Gowing (1952) focused on Delft Masters in their respective monographs. Since the early 1960 's, Vermeer' s paintings have been thought of as implicit, allegorical or symbolic. "Especially Eddy de Jongh does not do this first, but I believe that many Dutch paintings, including Vermeer, should be interpreted according to the printmaking of contemporary emblem books. Poetry, morality of ethics or proverbs. "45

The general features, appearance and skills of this work are closely related to other works of Vermeer, especially works of Girl with the Red Hat. However, perhaps the image has changed dramatically in the 17th century, so the quality of execution does not match the owner's standards. - A girl with a flute is one of only two pictures belonging to Vermeer. The other one is a girl wearing a red hat. These two works are very close in concept, so we need to assume that they are created almost at the same time. In these two pictures, a young lady has direct contact with the audience. Everyone is wearing an exotic hat that forms a strong shadow on most of her face. Each girl sits on a chair, sits on a lion, leans against one arm, and is composed of wall tapestries. However, since the dimensions of these pictures are slightly different, they are often claimed and are unlikely to be considered as accompaniment.
