Dutch Art

The Netherlands has produced a remarkable number of the world's great artists, but until now its art has not been the focus of a major reference work that goes beyond standard surveys of limited periods or single art forms or artists. Dutch Art explores developments in art, art history, art criticism, and cultural history of the Netherlands from the artists' workshops for the Utrecht Dom in 1475 to the latest movements of the 1990s. It is lavishly illustrated with 16 pages in full color and 152 black-and-white photographs. Approximately one third of the Encyclopedia is devoted to biography and another third offers narrative art history; and the balance focuses on specific subjects, with many artists, places, events, and stylistic arguments examined from multiple viewpoints.
