In "Vermeer's Hat," Timothy Brook delves into the 17th-century global transformation through the lens of Vermeer's enchanting paintings. Each artwork serves as a portal to explore how daily life and commerce in places like Delft and Beijing were interconnected during the early days of globalization. By examining familiar yet intricate images, Brook reveals the significant impact of global trade—highlighting elements such as beaver fur hats and prized porcelain—on both art and society during this groundbreaking era.
