Dutch painters of the nineteenth century. With biographical notices
A 1898 London art history by Max Rooses, a Belgian critic, surveying nineteenth-century Dutch painters with biographical notes for readers of fine art. The plates reproduce paintings and drawings in halftone, showing landscapes, a garden path, a quiet waterway and a village funeral procession. A designer might take their soft tonal gradations, dense foliage masses and low horizons as models for atmospheric, muted composition.
