    In this collection of essays the Swedish scholar Patrick Reutersw\u00e4rd explores the complex language of signs and symbols used by man in his artistic expression. The subjects range from the art of ancient civilizations to that of the Middle Ages and of the twentieth century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Patrik Reutersw\u00e4rd <\/strong>(1922\u20132000) was Professor of Art History at the University of Stockholm and a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquity. His range was remarkably wide and covered practically all periods, from Ancient Egypt to the art of his day. Curator of the Print Room of the Stockholm National Museum from 1958 to 1962, Reutersw\u00e4rd studied its famous collection of French architectural drawings, and as a result wrote The Two Churches of the H\u00f4tel des Invalides<\/em> (1965), which many readers say is exciting as a detective story. For the Museum’s Department of Painting he contributed in 1970 to exhibitions of the work of Paul Gauguin and James Emsor. In 1970 he published his book on Hieronymus Bosch, a singular and deeply committed study which does not follow the path of the majority of Bosch’s interpreters. Patrick Reutersw\u00e4rd was both a scholar and a man of letters. His approach was at times humorous, more often earnest and deeply-felt, while the literary quality of his work ensures that it is always enjoyable to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
