The Dutch of the 17th century were the most prolific painters of all time, and this encyclopaedia places the great talents of Rembrandt, Hals and Vermeer in the context of the dozens of lesser masters like Rudisdael, Cuyp, Metsu and Terborch - many of whose works are reproduced here. The introduction is followed by an alphabetical guide to more than a hundred of the creative geniuses of the Dutch school. In each case there is at least one reproduced example in full colour, including a full description caption and a history of the painting. An additional feature of the book is a complete list of all public collections, large and small, where genuine examples of each artist's work can be found.
