DESCRIPTION:
Tremendously competent Wheelock is one of the most important curators of northern Baroque art. It's not legitimate to criticise its shortcomings as a coffee table book. It's a an excellent reference work, particularly on conservation.

Wheelock Jr., the Gallery's curator of northern Baroque painting, has carefully studied the Gallery's collection by masters of the Golden Age of Dutch art--notably Cuyp, De Hooch, Rembrandt, Ruisdael, and Vermeer. The twenty-three paintings by Rembrandt and his school are elucidated by an essay on the question of attribution, while an appendix of artists' signatures amplifies and supports the author's wide-ranging discussions of this remarkably cohesive collection..
