Dutch Paintings of the Seventeenth Century (A ^APublication of the National Gallery of Art, Washington) by Wheelock Jr., Arthur. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780894682117.

From the hardships of a long and arduous war with Spain, the seventeenth-century Dutch seem to have drawn strength and expressed pride in their unique social and cultural heritage, especially in their art. Arthur K. Wheelock Jr., the Gallerys curator of northern Baroque painting, has carefully studied the Gallerys collection by masters of the Golden Age of Dutch art--notably Cuyp, De Hooch, Rembrandt, Ruisdael, and Vermeer. The twenty-three paintings by Rembrandt and his school are elucidated by an essay on the question of attribution, while an appendix of artists signatures amplifies and supports the authors wide-ranging discussions of this remarkably cohesive collection.
