This review is from: Delft Masters, Vermeer's Contemporaries: Illusionism Through the Conquest of Light and Space (Hardcover)

"Delft Masters" is a good addition to your art library, especially for those interested in the Vermeer era of Dutch painting. There are 205 numbered images with 85 in color. Chapter titles as follows: 1. Painting in the city of Delft 1600-1650. 2. The Delft church interior 1650-1675. 3. Views in and of Delft 1650-1675. 4. Pieter de Hooch and Delft genre painting 1650-1675. Some painters represented are: Paulus-Potter, Emanuel de Witte, Gerard Houchgeest, Carel Fabritius, Jacobus Vrel, Pieter Janssens Elinga, Cornelis De Man, and Pieter de Hooch. Good discussion of the influence of Pieter de Hooch on the paintings of Vermeer.
