Book Description

Publication Date: October 1991

Within its chronological limits (primarily works by artists born before 1825), the Pierpont Morgan Library's collection of over 9,000 old master drawings is unexcelled in the United States. One of its important strengths is the group of some 800 Netherlandish drawings, among the finest such collections in this country. For many years, scholars have remarked admiringly on the Morgan holdings while lamenting the lack of any publication beyond exhibition catalogues and checklists. The Pierpont Morgan Library and Princeton University Press are now pleased to publish the first definitive catalogue of any aspect of the library's various collections: a comprehensive catalogue of its Netherlandish drawings. This catalogue encompasses over 340 drawings, divided into two sections. The larger section, comprising Netherlandish works of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, numbers somewhat over two-thirds of the whole; the second section deals with Flemish works of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In the first section are drawings by such anonymous but important and gifted artists as the Master of the St. Barbara Legend and the Master of the Death of Absalom. Among works by known artists of the sixteenth century are examples by many of the leading draughtsmen of the period, such as Pieter Bruegel and his son Jan, Otto van Veen, Hendrick Goltzius, Jacques de Gheyn, Abraham Bloemaert, and Jacques and Roelandt Savery. Chief among the seventeenth-century Flemings are Peter Paul Rubens, Jacob Jordaens, and Anthony van Dyck, each well represented by a series of drawings. Also represented are Frans Snijders, Abraham van Diepenbeeck, Jan Cossiers, and David Teniers. All drawings are fullyillustrated, and there is also extensive reproduction of comparative material.
