Dutch painting in its prime is one of the great achievements in the history of art. Painters described their life and their environment, their country and their city sights so thoroughly that their work seems to provide a nearly complete pictorial record of Dutch culture. This book explores all the aspects of a truly creative period when sureness of instinct and quality of performance held a safe balance. The work of the great masters - including Rembrandt, Hals, Vermeer, Ruisdael - and their impact on others are analyzed and set in the context of a period when government, religion and social structures were all reestablishing themselves after significant changes. Slive discusses the kinds of painting that became Dutch specialities: genre scenes, landscape, marines and still lifes, portraiture and architectural painting, as well as examining patronage, trends in art theory and criticism, and collecting.

Small markings and stamp on front end page, else unmarked. viii, 378 pages, plates: illustrations, 29 cm. "Seymour Slive (1920-2014) an honorary member of HNA, was the first art historian trained in the United States who specialized in seventeenth-century Dutch art. He received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Chicago, where he studied with the scholar of Italian sculpture Ulrich Middeldorf. His dissertation, written long before anyone put together the words 'reception' and 'history, ' examined Rembrandt's critical reputation from his lifetime through the early eighteenth century. It was published in 1953 as Rembrandt and His Critics, 1630-1730. Slive remained engaged with Rembrandt for the rest of his life. One of his last publications, a study of Rembrandt's drawings organized by subject, as they were classified in the 1656 inventory of the artist's possessions, appeared in 2009. Never one to shy away from studying the major figures in the field, in addition to pursuing his interest in Rembrandt Slive was the leading authority on Frans Hals and Jacob van Ruisdael. As early as 1962 he wrote the catalogue entries for a Hals exhibition in Haarlem."-HISTORIANS OF NETHERLANDISH ART.
