Reviews
'... a series of extraordinarily richly allusive chapters... The erudition is extraordinary... there is real insight to be found throughout the text... When Peacock scrutinises the Van Dyck self-portrait he is constantly stimulating and provocative... No one has mapped the image as closely as Peacock in his text and it will stand as the definitive account of van Dyck's Self-Portrait with Sunflower...' The Art Book 'Peacock is an engaging and skillful guide... The Look of van Dyck alters and enriches an understanding of the work at its center. Countering a trend in academia for books with ever broader sweep, Peacock demonstrates the complex forms of thought that can be discerned in a sustained study of a single work of art.' caa.reviews
