Part of a comprehensive series cataloging the unparalleled holdings of Dutch drawings in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, this two-volume set includes work by Avercamp, Leonaert Bramer, Breenbergh, Buytewech, Jan van Goyen, Dirck Hals, Pieter van Laer, Pieter Lastman, Cornelis van Poelenburgh, Pieter Saenredam, Hercules Segers, Esaias van de Velde, and Simon de Vlieger. Many are landscapes by these artists of the Dutch Golden Age, but the enormous variety of the 860 drawings here reproduced also includes portraits, religious figures, genre scenes, copies after the antique, and architecture. A critical commentary by the small team of scholars involved fully discusses attribution, iconography, and technique. The two volumes are fully indexed and include an appendix of X-ray photographs of watermarks.
