Reviews

""Bussels and Van Oostveldt convincingly characterize how the sublime could manifest in the Dutch Republic, providing a real or imagined visual experience for their viewers. The authors provide a strong case for adding the sublime into the lexicon for analyzing Dutch visual culture."" -- Renaissance Quarterly ""“[This book] consider[s] how viewers regard art works, both visually and through haptic experience; and how viewers respond, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually, through related ideas."" -- Religion and the Arts (v.28), Brill.com
