VG+ Blue cloth with gold spine lettering; illustrated d/j with white and blue lettering; 143 pages: color illustrations, 66 figures and 67 color plates, 65 with full commentary. Introductory essays by Lynn Federle Orr, Lea van der Vinde, Emilie E.S. Gordenker, Quentin Buvelot and Ariane van Suchtelen, and Emilie E.S. Gordenker and Petria Boble. Catalogue of the exhibition of Dutch Masters from the Mauritshuis, shown in San Francisco, Atlanta and New York between January 2013 and January 2014. Comprehensive essays and catalogue, with beautiful full-colored plates. Topics include the Foundations of Dutch 17th-Century Painting, History of the Mauritshuis and Its Collection, Girl with a Pearl Earring by Vermeer and Conservation and Technical Research at the Mauritshuis. Paintings are divided into 5 categories and include works by Vermeer, Jan Steen, Rachel Ruysch, Rembrandt, Frans Hals, etc. An exquisite catalog. This volume will mark the first time Johannes Vermeer's iconic painting will be seen in the Southeast. The painting headlines the exhibition, which highlights the artistic genius of Dutch Golden Age painters, including Vermeer, Rembrandt van Rijn, Frans Hals and Jan Steen, through the presentation of more than 35 exceptional works. Through landscapes and portraits, this book will explore the idea that Dutch artists more readily embraced paintings of everyday subjects than their southern European contemporaries, focusing on capturing commonplace scenes of daily life. Dutch artists not only recorded representations of the domestic interior, still lifes and boisterous crowds, but often imbued these scenes with moral undertones and humorous, sarcastic wit.

Gordenker--Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer: the Dutch Mona Lisa / Quentin Buvelot and Ariane van Suchtelen--New techniques for old masters: conservation and technical research at the Mauritshuis / Emilie E.S.
