Ry Cooder. The Prodigal Son

«Художественное свободомыслие голландского мастера всецело способствовало его стремлению насытить отвлеченные схемы морали актуальным содержанием и придать им самый широкий гуманистический смысл. В этой картине Рембрандт обращается к человеку как к человечеству». Сергей Даниэль — доктор искусствоведения, профессор факультета истории искусств Европейского университета и Академии Художеств имени И. Е. Репина. Автор многочисленных трудов по семиотике, теории и истории искусства. Книга полностью на английском языке
