<p>Vincent van Gogh found tranquility and stimulation in the landscape about him, and in his paintings of fields and meadows he sought to represent eternal truths about humanity and nature. The challenges of depicting fields provide keys to understanding the development of Van Gogh's unique creative process. This book was published to accompany the Toledo showing of the exhibition "Van Gogh: Fields", which brought together selections of the artist's landscapes from each phase of his short, intense career--his initial activity in The Netherlands in the early 1880s; his two years in Paris, and his stays in Arles, Saint-Remy, and Auvers-sur-Oise from February 1888 until his death in July 1890.</p>

Frans Hals (1582–1666) was one of the foremost portrait painters of the Dutch Golden Age, yet little has been written about his lively family group portraiture. Inspired by recent discoveries about one of the families Hals painted, this catalog reunites the surviving sections of Van Campen Family Portrait in a Landscape and Three Children of the Van Campen Family, two works that originally formed one composition, but were separated for unknown reasons after the artist’s death. The book examines the finer features of Hals’s four family portraits—discussing how they were constructed, what symbolic elements they incorporate, and what we know about the sitters—and places these works in the wider context of the author’s oeuvre.
