Author: Wheelock, Arthur
Title: Dutch Paintings of the Seventeenth Century
Description: Washington, DC, National Gallery of Art / OUP, 1995. Hardbound. Orange cloth with gold lettering; color pictorial dj with Vermeer illustration; 456 pp. with color and bw illustrations throughout. From the hardships of a long and arduous war with Spain, the seventeenth-century Dutch seem to have drawn strength and expressed pride in their unique social and cultural heritage, especially in their art. Arthur K. Wheelock Jr. the Gallery's curator of northern Baroque painting, has carefully studied the Gallery's collection by masters of the Golden Age of Dutch art--notably Cuyp, De Hooch, Rembrandt, Ruisdael, and Vermeer. The twenty-three paintings by Rembrandt and his school are elucidated by an essay on the question of attribution, while an appendix of artists' signatures amplifies and supports the author's wide-ranging discussions of this remarkably cohesive collection.
