"The Old Masters Gallery at Kassel is one of the most impressive sights in Germany and houses one of the greatest collections of Dutch and Flemish paintings of the 17th century in Europe, including twelve works by Rembrandt. The Rubens collection is also extraordinary and there are fine examples of works by Brueghel the Elder, Cranach the Elder, Durer, Jordaens, Titian, Frans Hals, van Dyck and many more." Continuing Scala's prestigious Masterpieces series on the great museums of the world, this is a book with informative text and superb reproductions of many of the paintings. As with all Scala books, it can be a pre-trip taster of the delights of the museum, an informative and elegant guide while visiting, or a beautiful reminder to have at home.
