Description

Dulwich Picture Gallery in London holds one of the most remarkable permanent collections of Dutch and Flemish art in the world. Paintings by some of the most renowned artists of the period, including Rembrandt van Rijn's Girl at a Window and Portrait of Jacob de Gheyn, Anthony van Dyck's Samson and Delilah and Gerrit Dou's Woman Playing a Clavichord feature alongside major works by Peter Paul Rubens, Jacob van Ruisdael, Aelbert Cuyp and Meindart Hobbema, with key examples across a broad range of oeuvre: portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. This new volume is the first time this remarkable collection has been catalogued in a comprehensive publication, reinforcing the importance of the collection to a new scholarly audience, as well as appealing to the wider public. It brings to light new technical analysis, x-ray and infrared photography, conservation work, provenance and historical significance, combined with rigorous authorship by leading art historians, the late Michiel Jonker and Ellinoor Bergvelt, and complemented with colour plates of all of the art works, many of them at full page size. This volume is a major new reference book on Dutch and Flemish art. AUTHOR: Ellinoor Bergvelt is an associate professor at the University of Amsterdam Michiel Jonker was formerly head of collections at Mauritshuis, The Hague 350 colour illustrations
