Description

Gerrit Dou, an early pupil of Rembrandt's, was one of the most highly esteemed Dutch painters of the seventeenth century, celebrated for the extraordinarily sensitive images he created with his fine & delicate technique. This beautiful book assembles & discusses thirty-five of his finest paintings. Founder of the Leiden school of "fijnschilders," or "fine painters," Dou had an international clientele & was lauded by the theorist Philips Angel in his 1642 treatise Lof der Schilderkonst as an artist worthy of the honor accorded the ancients. The book presents a wide range of subjects painted by Dou over the course of his career. These include portraiture, still life, & religious images as well as scenes of daily life--mothers with their children, painters in their studios, scholars, shopkeepers, schoolmasters, musicians, & astronomers. Many of these works incorporate symbolic elements that Dou used to reflect the complexity of life's moral & ethical dilemmas. This book is the catalogue for an exhibition of Dou's works at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, from 16 April to 6 August 2000 & at the Dulwich Picture Gallery, London, from 6 September to 19 November 2000.
