Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Dutch paintings of the seventeenth century––the Golden Age of Rembrandt van Rijn, Frans Hals, and Johannes Vermeer––have been eagerly collected in America over the past two centuries. From its founding purchase in 1871 of many Dutch landscapes, portraits, still lifes, and scenes of everyday life, the Metropolitan Museum now houses the finest and most comprehensive collection of Dutch pictures in the western hemisphere.

 

This monumental publication, wherein the Museum’s 229 Dutch paintings dating from 1600 to 1800 are catalogued for the first time, celebrates an extraordinary collection. Included are a full discussion of each picture and complete records of its scholarly literature, exhibition history, and provenance. Every work is reproduced in color and comparative illustrations enrich the presentation. A biography of each artist and a comprehensive bibliography reflect the latest research.



About the Author

Walter Liedtke is Curator of European Paintings at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dutch Paintings in The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Metropolitan Museum of Art Publications) , November 19, 2007
I purchased this two volume set for my daughter [which she had specifically requested] and had it shipped directly to her. She is a doctoral candidate in Art History at a major university and was absolutely astounded at not only how beautiful the set was, but that it was a very comprehensive representation of the subject matter in one convenient location. The photographic renderings of the paintings were also impressive. A "must-have" for any serious art lover or student of Dutch paintings.
