About this title

Synopsis

The Bader Collection stands among the world s greatest private collections of Dutch and Flemish paintings from the Baroque era. For the past 40 years Dr. Alfred Bader of Milwaukee has donated works to the Agnes Etherington Art Centre of his Canadian alma mater, Queen s University, where the entire Bader Collection will be housed. This extraordinary collection demonstrates a rich interplay of interests and insights, at the same time drawing back the curtain on the motivations and principles behind these remarkable acquisitions, whose history dates back to 1950. This scholarly publication presents 200 paintings with work by Rembrandt, Jan Lievens, Willem Drost, Jacob van Ruisdael, Philips Koninck and other luminaries. Exhaustively researched, each richly illustrated entry presents a painting in detail. An introductory essay explores the life of this remarkable collector and the motivations that have driven his pursuit of the art of the Dutch Golden Age with such passion and insight.
