  Synopsis Details Reviews  
This is a catalogue of Flemish paintings housed in South African public collections. It offers a unique and interesting account of the many important paintings overlooked in international scholarship through lack of exposure. The introduction addresses the reasons for this neglect and explains the history, choice and quality of the collected works. The value of this catalogue lies in its attempt to advocate new attributions in the light of recent scholarship. In most cases comparative works provide supporting evidence. The works are discussed extensively from an arthistorical viewpoint, paying attention to issues of form, content and meaning.
