This book will be the first serious monograph on Thomas Willeboirts Bosschaert, a somehow 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 raisonnĂŠ' with more than 100 painting, drawings and studies with oil. A complete index with technical, historical and iconographical information makes this book an invaluable tool for scholars in art history in general and 17th-century Flemish painting in particular.
