For many decades the Agnes Etherington Art Centre has been receiving European paintings from the Bader Collection from a wide range of periods and schools, from the German Renaissance to the Italian Rococo. The core of the collection is Dutch and Flemish art, in particular paintings by the Dutch Baroque genius Rembrandt van Rijn and his circle of talented pupils, friends and followers. These works were fully published in the publication of 2008. This new book presents the substantial group of over fifty remarkable paintings from other European Schools, notably Italy, Germany, France and England. A breathtaking early El Greco, a classic Dosso Dossi, an evocative late Luca Giordano, a truly surprising Georg Pencz, as well as a signal masterpiece by the Milanese master Andrea Lanzani highlight the quality and breadth of this part of the collection. Many works make their public debut here, with new findings on authorship, meaning, and other intriguing questions. They are joined by several major recent Netherlandish acquisitions including a late still life by the renowned Willem Kalf. Artists include El Greco, Dosso Dossi, Luca Giordano, Georg Pencz, Andrea Lanzani, Willem Kalf, Adriaen van Ostade, Isack de Jouderville, Jacques-André-Joseph Aved and Jean Baptiste Henri Deshays.
