Description
The breaching of the Spanish hold on Holland let loose one of the most fertile floods of artistic activity in European history. This was the age of Frans Hals and Rembrandt, of Vermeer, De Hooch, Jan Steen and Ruisdael. By the diversity of their portraits and interiors, their landscapes, seascapes and still lifes, and their genre painting, the Dutch masters have bequeathed to us almost every detail of their times.

Disappointing. It gives an adequate introduction to Dutch 17th century painting, and in that sense it's not a bad book. But it deals with Dutch sculpture and architecture of the same period as if it was an afterthought - and the same goes for anything 18th century. So it simply doesn't live up to
