Flemish
and German Paintings of the Seventeenth Century Julius S. Held |
The
outstanding collection of European paintings at the Detroit Institute of
Arts has established it as one of America's major museums. This catalogue
presents 17th-century Flemish and German paintings, works from a period
of great richness and splendor in the history of art. Especially well-represented
in Detroit are the pictures of the great Baroque master Peter Paul Rubens;
paintings of every type produced by the artist and from each phase in his
career are included here. Works by other Flemish Baroque masters, such as
Antoon Van Dyck, Jacob Jordaens, Abraham Brueghel, and Jan Brueghel the
Elder, are also included. This catalogue is written by Professor Julius S. Held, one of the foremost authorities on Northern Baroque painting in the world today. Professor Held has re-examined the more than fifty works and written extensive entries on each of them, as well as concise evaluative biographies of each artist represented. |
