Excerpt from Index of Artists Represented in the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum, Vol. 1: Dutch and Flemish Schools, German SchoolsThe present volume includes the Dutch and Flemish Schools (classed as one because at a certain period the arts, like the government, of the Netherlands were undivided), and the German Schools, including those of Austria, Bohemia, and Northern Switzer land. After the name of each artist is placed a brief statement of the art or arts which he practised, the place or places where he worked, and the dates of his birth and death. Due pains have been taken to ensure the exactness of this information, in accordance with the latest results of research, so that the Index may also serve as a comprehensive Biographical Dictionary of Artists on a brief scale.As such it will be found to include many names which are not given in other dictionaries.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
