| Publisher Description: 1914. Critical notes on the Rijks Museum, the Hague Museum, Hals Museum. Van Dyke, with his belief that the enjoyment of beauty is one of the highest aims of human existence, attempts to deliver a guidebook that speaks about the man behind the paintbrush; deals with pictures from the painter's point of view, rather than that of the ecclesiastic, the archaeologist, or the literary romancer; has some proportion in the selection and criticism of pictures; with a critical basis for discrimination between the good and the bad; and that shall, for these reasons be of service to the traveling public as well as to the art student.
