Über den Autor

Honorary chairman of the University of Amsterdam, Émile Michel is one of the most eminent specialists of Flemish painting. Indeed, with his writings Rembrandt's Masterworks and Rubens: His Life, Works and Times, he remains a reference in this domain. His work on the Brueghel family is a brilliant analysis as well as a colourful family portrait. Victoria Charles received her PhD in art history. She has published extensively on art history and has contributed to Art Information, an international art guide. She is a regular contributor to journals and magazines. She recently contributed to a collective work, 1000 Paintings of Genius.
