The Italian drawings of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the Teyler Museum

About this book

The Teyler Museum in Haarlem owns a renowned collection of original Italian drawings of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. For the first time, this book offers a complete and fully illustrated catalogue of these drawings. The book features four indices, dedicated to artists, subjects, drawings in other collections, and an index of related works, as well as a concordance. Carel van Tuyll van Serooskerken was curator of the art collections of the Teyler Museum in Haarlem from 1984, becoming its chief curator in 1989. In 2000 he published a catalogue of the museum's Italian Renaissance drawings. Four years later he joined the Musée du Louvre as Director of the Graphic Arts Department, a position from which he retired in 2013
