Weyerman's collection of artists' biographies (1729) is exceptional
for three reasons. Firstly, he includes a great number of painters
not mentioned elsewhere. Secondly, he does not limit his selection
to good artists only; he also discusses failed painters and their
abortive careers. Thirdly, he writes as an art critic who does not
hesitate to pass judgments, sometimes severe, on his chosen
subjects. In the process, Weyerman provides much information on the
social and economic circumstances of art production. He found that
a bohemian lifestyle was pernicious to a painter's career, and
argued that artists should live and think as merchants. In addition
to analyzing Weyerman's art critical terminology and his ideas on
art theory, De Vries includes translations of two full chapters
along with the original Dutch.
