Art stories from the Netherlands and Italy, 1550-1800: liber amicorum in honour of Gregor J.M. Weber

Uittreksel

"Since 2009 Gregor J.M. Weber has been Head of the Department of Fine Arts of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Recently he retired from this position, finishing off his career with a proper apotheosis: the major Vermeer exhibition, on which he worked with heart and soul. This has resulted in a memorable overview of that master's work and has provided numerous new insights. [...] Gregor's enthusiasm and eagerness to research, to learn and to understand works of art in their context has been an enormous source of inspiration for many of his colleagues and students. Many of them have enthusiastically and generously contributed to this liber amicorum to celebrate the achievements of this kind and modest, highly regarded art historian."-- Preface, page 9.
