Vermeer and Allegory Through the Ages - Bookworm History

Ep. 23 - Vermeer and Allegory Through the Ages
Today we’re discussing the easiest way to tie together a 3rd century BC Greek historian, a 16th century Italian iconographer, a 17th century Dutch revolt, a 19th century Austrian count, and a 20th century German dictator.
