This elegant volume presents 44 outstanding Old Master paintings,
primarily from the 17th and 18th centuries, that Jordan and Thomas
Saunders III collected over the past 25 years. Included in the
Saunders Collection are works by renowned Dutch, Flemish, French,
Italian, and English masters, among them Frans Hals, Jan Davidsz de
Heem, Jan Brueghel, Peter Paul Rubens, Nicolas de Largilliere,
Canaletto, Francesco Guardi, and Thomas Lawrence. This richly
illustrated catalogue was written by a team of specialists under
the guidance of Arthur K. Wheelock Jr, former curator at the
National Gallery of Art. The introductory essay discusses the
principles that guided the Saunders in forming their collection,
and the individual entries examine how artists fused careful
observation with the imagination to create beautiful and
thought-provoking paintings. These texts also examine the social,
economic, and political realities that had an impact on these
artistic creations.
