Flemish Paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art

The two volumes of this catalogue encompass the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Flemish paintings in The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The term "Flemish," here, refers to the whole of the southern, or Spanish, Netherlands, and implies the very approximate dates of 1600 to 1800. This collection has considerable variety, with outstanding works by such prominent northern European artists as Rubens, van Dyck, Jordaens, and Brouwer. Volume 1 contains the Catalogue and Indices, as well as 50 black & white plates. Volume 2 contains 16 color plates and 111 black & white plates.
