PROSPECT BOOKS IS NOW PART OF EQUINOX PUBLISHING

Coming in September

 

The next issue of PPC is going to press and will be published in September. It will include an article on pigs, which is why the cover of the issue features the painting Stilleven met varkenskop, varkenspootjes en worst
(‘Still life with pig’s head, pig’s trotters and sausage’), oil on panel, 1600-1650. Source: Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
