Masters of 17th Century Dutch Landscape Painting

Originating with an exhibition at Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum, Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, this superlative catalog investigates Dutch landscape painting in the cultural context of the "Golden Age." Four well-crafted essays explore major trends and practitioners, the new interest in "realistic" Dutch topography, spiritual ties with scripture, and the contemporary art market. The detailed catalog entries, fine color plates, and extensive bibliography attest to the meticulous care with which this book was produced. Recommended for all art history collections.
