Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam holds a particularly rich collection of early Netherlandish drawings which run from the late Middle Ages to the period which is justly called the Dawn of the Golden Age. Key names include Hieronymus Bosch, Lucas van Leyden, Pieter Bruegel, Hendrick Goltzius, Karel van Mander, Jacques de Gheyn and Abraham Bloemaert. This group of about 400 pages has been catalogued in recent years, and a selection of 140 of the most beautiful works is presented in full- page format and colour in this book, together with explanatory texts including supporting illustrations.
