“This book was published to accompany an exhibition at The National Gallery, London, 12 March - 5 May 1997"--Title page verso.

Impressionist art appears to be effortless and spontaneous, but it actually involves an intricate approach to painting. In this book a curator, an conservator, and two scientists use modern methods of examination to investigate exactly how these paintings were done and what materials were used. 76 illustrations; 208 color plates.

The National Gallery's "Winter Landscape" has brought into question the attribution of another version in the Museum in Dortmund. This book investigates the problem of the relationship and attribution of the two paintings and provides background information on Friedrich's life and work.

great look at Van Gogh
