Gabriel Metsu by Adriaan Waiboer
Gabriel Metsu (1625-1667) employed an unusual variety of styles, techniques, and subjects, making him a particularly difficult artist to characterize. This book offers a portrait of the age through Metsu's patrons and his wide network of contacts and colleagues in Amsterdam, as well as analysis of Metsu's technique as a draftsman and as a painter.
"In Adriaan Waiboer's exhibition volume. . the reader immediately realizes the superb quality of this artist's handling of the brush . . . Additional excellent essays in the volume take up topics relevant not only to Metsu but to Dutch art in general."—Susan Donahue Kuretsky, Historians of Netherlandish Art -- Susan Donahue Kuretsky * Historians of Netherlandish Art *
