Dutch and Flemish Landscapes 1600-1800

Dutch and Flemish landscape paintings constitute a very significant part of the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest collection of European paintings. The collection which attracts international interest, includes works by the most famous masters; Jan Brueghel the Elder, Jacques d’Arthois, Jan Wildens, Jan van Goyen, Paulus Potter, Aelbert Cuyp, Salomon van Ruysdael, and Jacob van Ruisdael, but also preserves significant works by lesser-known painters and possesses several pieces considered rarities. This volume is the first systematic study of the landscapes of the Low Countries in the Old Picture Gallery and provides an evaluation of this rich collection based on the current state of research and long-term cataloguing project, which started in 1992 in collaboration with staff at the Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie (RKD) in The Hague.
