This comprehensive study confirms Aert van der Neer (1604-1677) as one of the leading figures in seventeenth-century Dutch art. Along with Hendrik Avercamp, Aert van der Neer painted some of the finest European winter landscapes, demonstrating his incomparable feeling for light, space and atmosphere. His masterpieces from around 1660 may be considered the apogee of Netherlandish art in this genre. Van der Neer's early-morning scenes show the dedication with which he chose his homeland as the setting for his paintings. His evening and nocturnal moonlit landscapes are miracles of colour as regards their beauty and expressiveness. The rigorous examination and critical analysis of Van der Neer's oeuvre, carried out over the course of a decade, has enabled the author to produce a well-considered survey yielding valid conclusions.
