A History of Painting: The Dutch Genius V5 is a comprehensive book that explores the rich history of Dutch painting. Written by Haldane Macfall, a renowned art historian, this volume focuses on the Dutch Golden Age, a period of great artistic and cultural flourishing in the Netherlands during the 17th century. The book covers the major artists and movements of the time, including Rembrandt, Vermeer, and the Dutch Realists. It also delves into the social and political context that gave rise to this artistic flowering, exploring the role of the Dutch Republic, the rise of the middle class, and the impact of Protestantism on Dutch society. With its detailed analysis and stunning reproductions of some of the most iconic works of Dutch art, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of painting or the cultural history of the Netherlands.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.
