This beautiful and scholarly catalogue presents over 220 Flemish drawings from the collection of the Courtauld Gallery

The Courtauld Gallery is home to an outstanding collection of drawings by Flemish artists. The collection of some 200 sheets features, among its highlights, drawings by Pieter Bruegel the Elder and several works by Peter Paul Rubens, including a major portrait of his second wife, Helena Fourment.

Following a multi-year research project, this important scholarly catalogue sees the publication of the entire collection of Flemish drawing for the very first time. It features in-depth specialist entries. The works have undergone technical examination to determine the media and the support. Provenance details have been thoroughly researched. All drawings are illustrated, including their watermarks and comparative images. The publication will be accompanied by a display in The Courtauld's Drawings Gallery of the most significant sheets. The catalogue is a major milestone in the research on the collection, as well as an important contribution to the study of Flemish drawings
