1800 to 1900 - Rijksmuseum

A splendid publication about the 100 finest and most important objects included in the 1800-1900 art and historical collection of the Rijksmuseum. From Jan Willem Pieneman's huge painting 'The Battle of Waterloo' to Vincent van Gogh's self-portrait: from the piano once owned by Louis Napoleon to the most beautiful art nouveau vases: from the most famous The Hague School and Breitner paintings to the exuberant applied art once displayed at world exhibitions. Each of the 100 objects is accompanied by a detailed explanation of its origin, history, and function.
