The book presents a wide array of subject-matter, ranging from sixteenth-century Flemish altarpieces to the heroes of Dutch seventeenth-century Dutch painting such as Rembrandt, Gerrit Dou and Jacob van Ruisdael, as well as the works of lesser-known Dutch and Flemish – and two Italian – painters, draughtsmen and printmakers. Two very personal contributions come in the form of a pair of short stories by Astrid Tümpel and a portrait drawing of Alfred Bader by Charles Munch. Alfred Bader, who celebrated his eightieth birthday in 2004 and to whom the book is dedicated, is well-known for his passion for Rembrandt and the Rembrandt school, his own collection of Dutch art, and for his generosity towards learned institutions, notably at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and at Kingston, Ontario.
