Dutch Painting

Renowned art historian Gary Schwartz offers a contemporary perspective on one of the most important schools of European art. Examples of notable paintings from leading museum collections explore the work of masters such as Rembrandt van Rijn, Judith Leyster and Johannes Vermeer, as well as artists that the reader may be encountering for the first time, such as Adriaen van de Velde and Gesina ter Borch. Topics include patronage and the market; reception and study; gender and race; painters abroad; and issues of attribution.
