The Discovery of the Netherlands: four Countries of Dutch Landscapes Painted by its Masters - Hardcover
Synopsis
In The Discovery of the Netherlands, Henk van Os presents the finest examples culled from four centuries of Netherlandish landscape art. The Dutch artists were the first in Europe to reveal the beauty of their country's landscape. They transformed the flat countryside, with its winding waters, farmland, wooded groves and the ever-changing lofty skies into unforgettable scenes framed within their paintings, indeed - into art. Selecting 40 masterworks, Van Os demonstrates that what we currently find 'beautiful' in the Dutch landscape has been largely shaped by these artists.
In her contribution, Louise Fresco explains how these paintings reflect the human presence in the Dutch landscape down through the centuries.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Published concurrently with Holland's inaugural Apeldoorn Garden and Landscape Architecture Triennial, The Discovery of the Netherlands explores how the genre of Dutch landscape painting has played a role in the viewer's appreciation of the landscape. Editor Henk van Os, Department Chair of Art and Society at the University of Amsterdam, contends that the function of landscape painting is to educate the viewer to appreciate, through the artists' skill, the view that the artist has chosen to portray. Van Os echoes a key tenet of nineteenth century landscape painting--that framing nature frees it for aesthetic appreciation. This volume explores how the diverse Dutch landscape has been fervently idealized by generations of Dutch artists, literally leading to the discovery of its aesthetic virtue. The publication features works by Hendrik Chabot, Jacob Maris, Anton Mauve and Jan Hendrik Weissenbruch, among others. Also included is an essay on the subject of contemporary conservation by Louise Fresco. Seller Inventory # 77629
