A catalogue of 128 paintings produced during this period in which
the art of portraiture was transformed, religious imagery
dynamized, and new genres such as flower painting were established.
The art of Holland's Golden Age is perennially popular with
collectors and gallery visitors alike and this book provides a new
insight into this unique private collection. In his introduction
Ivan Gaskill considers the extremely varied character of Dutch and
Flemsih seventeenth century art. It ranges from minutely observed
scens of everyday life to portraits, religious works and intimate
still-life compositions. The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection is
especially rich in landscapes, a subject which had emerged as a
seperate genre in the Netherlands in the previous century. The
author outlines the development of painting on both sides of the
border, placing it in its social and historical context, and goes
on to discuss the taste for Dutch and Flemish art from the
seventeenth century to the present day and spotlights some of the
earlier collectors. This detailed catalogue of 128 paintings is the
result of meticulous researchin British, Dutch and American
libraries and archives. The entries are arranged in ten groups by
subject so that thematic similarities can be conveniently examined.
Amongst the most celebrated works is Frans Hal's monumental
""Family Portrait"" - once the most expensive painting in the
world. All the paintings are illustrated in colour and are
accompanied by comparative illustrations and technical photographs.
