Masters of Dutch painting Detroit Institute of Arts

"This publication presents one of the world's finest collections of Dutch paintings, which come together for the first time in one volume as an addition to existing scholarship on Dutch art." "The volume presents more than 100 paintings in color, many with color details. Each painting is accompanied by an artist's biography, a detailed commentary, technical analysis, endnotes, bibliographic references, an exhibition history, and full provenance. More than 140 comparative illustrations provide vital art historical context to the featured paintings." "The range and scope of the works presented in this volume is truly impressive, from sedate church interiors and conventional landscape subjects, to bawdy peasant interiors and magnificent still lifes." "The volume features signature works by such Dutch artists as Frans Hals, Karel Dujardin, Gerrit Berckheyde, Pieter de Hooch, Meindert Hobbema, Salomon van Ruysdael, Simon de Vlieger, Emanuel de Witte, Willem Kalf, Aelbert Cuyp, Jan Steen, Gerard Ter Borch, Rembrandt, Jacob van Ruisdael, and Rachel Ruysch."--Jacket.
