This two volume set is the first serious monograph on Thomas Willeboirts Bosschaert, a somewhat forgotten seventeenth-century painter. Although Van Dyck's influence is obvious, Willeboirts develops his own artistic personality. The second part of this book contains a comprehensive 'catalogue raisonne' with more than 100 painting, drawings and studies with oil. A complete index with technical, historical and iconographical information makes this an invaluable tool for scholars in art history in general and seventeenth-century Flemish painting in particular. Text in German.
