The Catalogue of the 1965 exhibition in Utrecht has become a standard
work. The group of Dutch artists painting Italian landscapes instead of
their own polders hardly received attention. Since this study appeared,
their work has tripled in price, scholarly attention has been given and
space on museum walls.
This new edition has been considerably enlarged. The Introduction,
now translated into English, has been published for the first time in full.
The Bibliography has been brought up to date.
