The Hoogsteder Exhibition of Dutch Landscapes

This book provides a good survey of the art of landscape painting in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century. No dry scholarly work this; general readers interested in landscape painters working in the seventeenth century will find the information useful and accessible. 47 colour plates are provided, and the art historian Paul Huys Janssen has furnished each with a detailed commentary as well as writing a general Introduction on the development of Flemish and Dutch landscape painting. One chapter is devoted exclusively to the collecting of Dutch landscapes. It was written by Peter Sutton, Curator of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (USA) and a leading authority in the field of Dutch landscapes. Sutton presents a clear picture of the seventeenth-century Flemish and Dutch landscapes which well-known collectors have been able to acquire from that day to this.
