Paris, Arthena, 2011. 286 pp. Col. & b.w. ills. Hardcover, d./j. Text in French. The work reveals a painter of exquisite refinement, a superb colorist, leading most of his career in Amsterdam where he enjoyed great success from the beginning of the 1640s. Originally focused on history painting inspired by painters pre-Rembrandt, he distinguished himself in an original way in genre painting with gallant subjects which rivals those of Vermeer, Metsu and Ter Borch. Refugee in Paris following a brawl, he is also the founder of one of the most brilliant dynasties of French artists who, for more than a century, will be active in all the great European courts.
