About this book
Old World Masters in New World Collections is by Esther Singleton. The text on Dutch painting says it is not until the Seventeenth Century that painting in that part of the Spanish and Austrian Netherlands now known as Holland took on the national character of the Dutch race. A quoted passage says that in Holland we can point to more complete, perhaps more pompous and more brilliant, Rembrandts, but a picture by the master of such wonderful simplicity and at once of such great eloquence we hardly know of in this country.
The index lists entries such as Marriage of St. Catherine (Memling), Marriage of the Virgin (Perugino) and Mars and Venus (Botticelli), among others. A portrait description says the right hand is placed over the left, presumably resting on a parapet, and a simple gold ring is on a finger of each hand. The text names Dr. Max Friedländer as writing in Meisterwerke der Niederländischen Malerei des XV u. XVI Jahrhunderts auf der Ausstellung zu Brügge (1902) about a simple, proud, and very well preserved portrait.
