More than 150 works of art are presented and commented on by Peter C. Sutton in this substantial catalogue of the vast holdings at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Over a decade in the making, this formidable scholarly work presents a remarkable range of pictures. It will be of immense interest to students of art or cultural history. The museum's collection of Dutch painting has been termed “a connoisseur’s dream and a cataloguer’s nightmare.” It is one of the most extensive in the United States.

Peter C. Sutton is the Mrs. Russell W. Baker Curator of European Paintings at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and a former curator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
