Excellent I recently visited the Getty Museum in LA and admired all the paintings by Titian, Van Dyck, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Monet and others, but I kept returning to marvel at two paintings by an artist I knew little about, a Dutch floral artist working in the 17. Better than described I've searched everywhere for this out of print book. The condition of this used book was so much better than I had expected from the written description!
