This catalogue, sponsored by the Midwest Art History Society with additional support from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, brings together more than 100 treasures of the Baroque age from museum collections in the Midwest. Its selection of Italian, Dutch, Flemish, and French drawings offers new insights on many works, some of which are relatively unknown, others that have never before been published. Authored by major scholars in the field, the catalogue presents each drawing with a concise description and full scholarly information. Essays by Babette Bohn, George S. Keyes, Kristi A. Nelson, and Alvin L. Clark, Jr., respectively, introduce Italian, Dutch, Flemish, and French schools. The introductory essay by Shelley Perlove places these works within the larger context of 17th-century art. This catalogue is designed to have widespread appeal for art historians, curators, artists, collectors, and students.
