A History of Painting: The Dutch Genius V5 is a book written by Haldane Macfall that explores the rich artistic tradition of Dutch painting. This fifth volume of the series focuses on the works of Dutch painters from the 17th century, known as the Dutch Golden Age. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the major artists and movements of the period, including Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Frans Hals. It also delves into the social and cultural context in which these artists worked, examining the influence of religion, politics, and economics on their work. Through detailed analysis of individual paintings and broader trends in Dutch art, Macfall offers readers a deep understanding of the unique qualities that define the Dutch Genius. Lavishly illustrated with over 100 full-color reproductions of paintings, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of art.1911. In Eight Volumes. Illustrated with 200 plates. With Preface by Frank Brangwyn. The volumes in this series comprise a general survey of the history of painting by looking at the dominant figures of the time and studying how art developed towards the end of the nineteenth century. Macfall writes in the foreword: In these pages I have simply written of the greater men of genius who have contributed to the art of painting; and I have touched upon their more famous works rather than attempted an exhaustive list of all their endeavor, the which has no value except to the dealer in antiques. The volumes are an attempt to place before the ordinary man the chief achievement of the years in the Art of Painting; and to hint at something of the real significance of that achievement. The Contents of this volume are divided into the following groups: The Great Dutchmen 1600; The Great Dutch Painters of the Home-Life Under Rembrandt 1650; The Inhabited Landscape; Landscape 1650; and The Great Dutch Painters of Animals and Still-Life.
