Rembrandt’s most gifted student, Gerrit Dou had an enormous impact on the development of Northern European art, establishing a school of painting that flourished well into the eighteenth century. For decades, he was judged to be the most highly acclaimed Dutch painter of the Golden Age, both at home and abroad — even more so than his great teacher. Dou is famous for his genre paintings, executed on small yet precisely detailed panels, favouring an illusionistic technique. His novel subject matter and the sophisticated and thoughtful way he approached his work won the admiration of the highest connoisseurs of his day. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail. This volume presents Dou’s complete paintings, with concise introductions, hundreds of high quality images and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
