This book illustrates and discusses 35 of the finest paintings by Dou, one of the most highly regarded Dutch painters of the 17th century. Dou learned glass painting from his father and in 1628 became Rembrandt's first pupil. After some early portraits, he painted chiefly small domestic scenes characterized by minute detail (often painted under a magnifying glass), skillful chiaroscuro, and lifelike effect. Dou's work was very popular and continued to be influential until the mid-19th century when appreciation for precision in painting declined under the influence of impressionism. This will be a beautifully produced catalogue that will introduce the works of Gerrit Dou to a wider audience.
