The seminal book on Dutch painters of the seventeenth century. Covers more than 300 painters with 1,117 illustrations, including 74 plates in full color.
Well-written, comprehensive, fat-ass compendium. Weighs a ton. Not as many color reproductions as I'd like, but the depth of information makes up for that. In fact, all the black and white reproductions end up being instructive from a tonal perspective.
