Description
This volume looks at the work of Jan Miense Molenaer, an artist of the age of Rembrandt and Vermeer. He was probably a student of Hals and a spiritual heir of Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Essays and plates focus on Molenaer's comic scenes of Dutch peasant life. His versatile work, painted in Haarlem and Amsterdam, also includes: portraits; gene scenes including peasant weddings, theatrical performances, religious narratives and children at school and play; and allegories. 92 colour & 128 b/w illustrations
