<p>This beautiful book is the second in a four-part series that paints a picture of Dutch art from the late middle ages to the beginning of the twentieth century. The series provides a broad panorama of the achievements of Dutch painters, draughtsmen, sculptors, gold and silversmiths, glass engravers, weavers, potters, and cabinetmakers over the centuries, illustrating its survey with a selection of works of art taken from the unparalleled collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. This volume, which focuses on the period from 1600 to 1700, places the works from this magnificent period in their historical context and discusses their origins, significance, and distinguishing features. The book is arranged chronologically in three sections, each opening with a brief introduction that sketches the historical and art-historical outlines of the period and each including reproductions and discussions of the works of art. Longer essays in the beginning of the book address other issues that illuminate the art of the period. Although the book focuses on works from the Rijksmuseum, it includes illustrations of key works from other sources as well. Together the text and the many reproductions form a book that will become a treasured possession of visitors to the Rijksmuseum and of art lovers everywhere.</p>

Lucas van Leyden (1494–1533) was as important for his age as Rembrandt was for the 17th century. He introduced the Renaissance to the Netherlands and was influenced by both Dürer and Raphael. His paintings are lively, colorful, and full of narrative; his prints are refined and playful. The triptych The Dance around the Golden Calf (c. 1530) is one of his best-known works, and in this detailed study, Jan Piet Filedt Kok, the leading expert on Lucas van Leyden, explores the sources, iconography, narrative, and technique of this remarkable work.
