History of art / art & design styles

Paperback. Hugely popular in their own time, the 'Dutch Italianates' fell out of favour in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

This book celebrates Dutch Italianate vision, and also tells the story of Dulwich Picture Gallery. Num Pages: 112 pages, colour illustrations. BIC Classification: 1DDN; 3JD; ACQ; AFC; AGC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 209 x 242 x 10. Weight in Grams: 474.
