Description

Celebrating the cultural significance and clarity of vision evident in Northern European art of the fifteenth through the eighteenth century

Northern European Art in the Norton Simon Museum features Dutch, Flemish, Early Netherlandish, and German paintings and works on paper from the fifteenth through the eighteenth century. This collection includes preeminent names such as Peter Paul Rubens and Rembrandt van Rijn, as well as lesser-known artists such as Sebastian Stoskopff and Johannes Verspronck.

Illuminating one of the finest collections of Northern European art in the United States, the book traces the histories of ninety-five extraordinary paintings and drawings. It sheds new light on the artistic significance and material properties of these objects. A throughline that unites the paintings featured here is their emphasis on the humanity of their subjects—and the capacity of oil paint to render these qualities almost achingly real.

Examples include the tender gaze of Rembrandt's Portrait of a Boy (1655–60), the freshly cut flowers and curious insects in Rachel Ruysch's Nosegay on a Marble Plinth (ca. 1695), and the recently conserved masterpieces Adam and Eve (ca. 1530) by Lucas Cranach.

Distributed for the Norton Simon Museum.
