This spectacular slipcased two-volume set is the first in a series of four catalogues that will showcase the holdings of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, which owns the world’s largest and most representative collection of paintings from the Dutch Golden Age. Focusing on 445 works by such masters as Hendrick Avercamp, Balthasar van der Ast, Hendrick ter Brugghen, and Esaias van de Velde, Volume I presents the work of some 100 painters who together provide a comprehensive overview of the dawn of 17th-century Dutch art.
An up-to-date biography is provided for each artist as is the complete known provenance for each painting. The paintings have been fully researched and described, and all are reproduced in full color. An appendix of photographed signatures is also included. For every admirer of the Dutch masters, this set is both a treasure trove of information and a delight to the eye.

From the Back Cover
Het Rijksmuseum gaat de komende jaren zijn gehele collectie schilderijen ontsluiten door middel van een serie Engelstalige catalogi waarin alle ruim 5500 werken uitvoerig worden besproken en (pagina)groot in kleur afgebeeld.
Het accent in de schilderijenverzameling van het Rijksmuseum ligt op de Hollandse school; niet minder dan zo'n 2000 werken daarvan zijn afkomstig uit de 17de eeuw. Het is dan ook niet verwonderlijk dat deze eeuw aandacht krijgt in maar liefst vier delen, met elk gescheiden banden voor tekst en afbeeldingen. Het eerste deel verschijnt deze winter en omvat 445 schilderijen van kunstenaars geboren tussen 1570 en 1600. Zij waren het die aan de wieg stonden van de Gouden Eeuw, zoals Hendrick Avercamp, Balthasar van der Ast, Hendrick ter Brugghen, Pieter Lastman, Pieter Saenredam en Esaias van de Velde. Een aantal is met een grote kern van werken in de collectie vertegenwoordigd: Jan van Goyen (11 schilderijen), Frans Hals (11), Gerard van Honthorst (9), Frans van Mierevelt (9), Paulus Moreelse (7), Cornelis van Poelenburch (5), Pieter Saenredam (6) en vooral Adriaen van de Venne (16).
Een up-to-date biografie van de meer dan honderd kunstenaars gaat telkens aan de bespreking van hun werk vooraf. De schilderijen bevatten een grote variatie aan thema's en onderzoeksvragen, die vaak in een zekere samenhang gezien kunnen worden. Naast het traditionele kunsthistorische stilistische en iconografische onderzoek speelt ook het materi le (natuurwetenschappelijke) onderzoek een grote rol. Door de gekozen seriematige opzet is het goed mogelijk per deel een samenhangend kunsthistorisch beeld te geven van de artistieke ontwikkelingen in de betreffende periode, waardoor de catalogus tevens de functie van een kunsthistorisch handboek krijgt.
