Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique perspective on the diverse art collection of Amsterdam resident A. van der Hoop, through a detailed catalog of its 123 paintings, sculptures and drawings, compiled as the collection was being prepared for display in the city. The catalog was assembled in the late 1800s, capturing the collection as a time-capsule of 17th-century Dutch art history as it was understood at that time. The book delves into the history of the collection, the tastes of its owner and the artistic movements that shaped the era. The collection, which focuses heavily on Dutch masters, is particularly rich in paintings that depict everyday life and pastoral scenes. The book provides insights into the social and cultural context of the Dutch "Golden Age" while also exploring the complex relationship between art and philanthropy, and the art market of the time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
