Brown cloth with color illustrated dustjacket. 397 pp. 127 color, numerous bw plates. Issued in conjunction with a series of 1984 exhibitions. "The Dutch in the seventeenth century placed a premium on naturalistic accounts of their surroundings, be they in the form of portraits, landscapes, still lifes, or scenes of everyday life--what we have come to call 'genre' painting. With this art, the painter recorded the look, the manners, the character of those quotidian events, which comprise day-to-day existence." (p. xiii) This book features essays on both the artists and on life and culture during this time. The catalogue addresses 127 paintings: first, in color plates, and secondly, with lengthy annotations and small BW illus. The concluding bibliography is substantial. A terrific resource. Contents as follows: Masters of Dutch genre painting / by Peter C. Sutton--Life and culture in the golden age / by Peter C. Sutton--Plates--Catalogue / by Christopher Brown [and others].
