The University Prints

THE series here presented carries on in the field of Northern Art the work begun in the two series already published, which illustrate the development of art in Italy during the Early and Late Renaissance.

The earlier painters of the Low Countries have, in accordance with the latest scholarship, been grouped together under the general head of the School of the Netherlands, illustrated by the first ninety-seven numbers. Until the war with Spain, after w?hich only can Holland be said to exist except as a petty province, the artists of both northern and southern provinces mingled freely and, wherever their birthplace, soon found their way to Bruges or to Antwerp, the early centers of artistic inspiration and patronage.

The later history of the two sections of country on either side of the Maas is not more strikingly different than was their artdevelopment.

The southern provinces, after one of the most cruel wars on record, returned to their Spanish allegiance and continued in the Catholic faith. Rubens and Van Dyck are the ruling spirits of this period of Later Flemish Painting, covered by ninety-two illustrations.

Religious and political conditions differentiated sharply the work of the Dutch painters from that of the Flemings from 1580 on. Hals and Rembrandt are the great names, but the long list of the "Littie Dutchmen" serves to show the growth and prosperity of Holland after her triumph in the struggle for political and religious liberty. One hundred and seventythree prints catalogued under Dutch School amply illustrate this period.
