Adriaen van Ostade
As the New Hollstein volumes on Rembrandt have shown, consulting more collections than ever before and minutely comparing digital photographs of an almost infinite number of impressions can result in a much more accurate description of the numerous states of the prints of a single printmaker. And since Ostade, like Rembrandt, is known for the many states of his etchings, this approach has also been chosen for the New Hollstein volumes on Adriaen van Ostade. All states will be illustrated, and the many copies after Ostade’s etchings will be listed more accurately as well.
