This volume looks at the work of Jan Miense Molenaer, an artist of the age of Rembrandt and Vermeer. He was probably a student of Hals and a spiritual heir of Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Essays and plates focus on Molenaer's comic scenes of Dutch peasant life. His versatile work, painted in Haarlem and Amsterdam, also includes: portraits; gene scenes including peasant weddings, theatrical performances, religious narratives and children at school and play; and allegories.

This book documents the North Carolina exhibit, not the San Francisco one

After visiting the recent Dutch exhibit at the Legion of Honor Museum I was impressed by the Jan Miense Molenaer paintings.
The book on his work was fantastic but the line was long and I had an appointment. I made a mental note to look for it later on Amazon.
The book that came (same cover) did not have the same artwork.(About half). Several of my favorites from the exhibit were missing but over half the images are in both books so its too cost prohibitive to duplicate. Very disappointing. The fact they have the same title and cover is very misleading.
