Professor Emerita Shelley Perlove contributed an article to The Primacy of the Image in Northern European Art: Essays in Honor of Larry Silver, which was recently published by BRILL as a part of Brill's Studies on Art, Art History, and Intellectual History series.

The book is a collection of 42 essays by distinguished scholars on current research and methodology in the art history of the late medieval and early modern periods in Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Belguim, made in tribute to Larry Silver, Farquhar Professor of the History of Art at the University of Pennsylvania.

Professor Perlove's article, titled "Narrative, Ornament, and Politics in Maerten van Heemskerck's Story of Esther (1564)" discusses Heemskerck's series of eight prints from the Book of Esther within the context of Charles V's imposition of the harsh policies of the Inquisition in the Netherlands.
