This is a completely updated and revised edition of Christopher White's catalogue of the Dutch paintings in the Royal Collection (first published in 1982 by CUP), with all the illustrations reproduced in colour and fully integrated with the text. Since the publication of the 1982 edition many of the works have been cleaned and many, including Rembrandts, have been re-attributed. Scholarship in this area has advanced dramatically in the same period, and the catalogue will include much new information as well as a fascinating account of the assembling of this important group of Dutch pictures, particularly by George IV, and the history of their display and appreciation.

This revised and updated edition brings Dutch Pictures back into print. Since its initial publication, the Royal Collection has cleaned and restored many of the paintings, and stunning new color photography allows readers to more fully appreciate the fine detail. Scholarship in the area has advanced dramatically, and some of the paintings, including Rembrandts, have been reattributed, and White integrates new scholarship in this edition. Rounding out the book is an account of how this important collection of Dutch paintings was assembled, including enthusiastic contributions by George IV, as well as how it has been displayed and appreciated in the years since. Readers who have long turned to White's book as a reliable reference will welcome this revised and updated edition, while it will also prove a fascinating read to those newly interested in Dutch art.
