Showcasing the Frits Lugt Collection, this catalogue illuminates the role of figure drawings in the age of Rembrandt

This catalogue illuminates the role of figure drawings in the age of Rembrandt. Although often associated with landscape, the Dutch school of Art in of the seventeenth century was as accomplished in the depiction of the human figure. Spanning the entire seventeenth century, this stunning publication covers the work of such major artists as Willem Buytewech, who focused on Hollands's jeunesse dorée; the brothers Adriaen and Isaac van Ostade, who specialised in representations of peasant life; members of the Ter Borch family; Jan de Braij, whose varied oeuvre straddles several genres; and Adriaen van de Velde, a landscapist who has long been admired for his figure studies in chalk. Rembrandt and his school are particularly well represented, with studies from models as well as genre scenes and often rarely depicted episodes from the Bible and literature. It is in his workshop and circle that drawing the female nude emerges as a practice that set a standard for artists elsewhere in the Netherlands and abroad.
