Catalogue to the exhibition early '96 in The Hague.

"This exhibition of Dutch paintings from American collections presents a broad picture of the incredible richness of American art holdings in the domain of seventeenth-century painting of the United Provinces. Works have been gathered from more than forty museums and private collections in the United States. Many of these will be new to the European public, and some of them are inaccessible even to the American public."

The beauty of floral still lifes is just one aspect of this richly illustrated publication. Specialists in the art of floral painting are also addressed in this book along with many other aspects such as the symbolism associated with the various flowers and interesting botanical information about them, the forms of the bouquets, and the origins of the paintings
