Zwolle/ Amsterdam, Waanders/ Rijksmuseum, 1994 Bound, cloth, illustrated dustjacket in colour, 230 x 305mm., 718pp., profoundly illustrated in colour and b/w. ISBN 9789066303911.
This large volume, the catalog for a major exhibition at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, covers an important transition period in the art of the Netherlands, just before the era of Rembrandt, Vermeer, and other masters. Although the exhibit includes work by such well-known artists as Franz Hals and Hendrick Goltzius, the bulk of the art work will be unfamiliar to nonspecialists. Painting, sculpture, architecture, and the decorative arts are all included. Several long essays begin the volume, and over 1000 small black-and-white photographs and 100 full-page color plates of the exhibited artists are accompanied by full scholarly annotations. A substantial acquisition for specialized collections. In good condition.
