The present publication is based on the author's 1989 doctoral dissertation. This monograph and catalogue raisonné includes a biography of the aritst, an analysis of his stylistic development, and an examination of the iconography of his paintings. There are also chapters on Wouwerman's studio, his handwriting and signatures, and posthumous reputation. In addition to the catalogue raisonné, the publication contains lists of owners, archival documents related to Wouwerman's life and work, and a concordance with Hofstede de Groot's "A Catalogue Raisonné of the Works of the Most Eminent Dutch Painters of the Seventeeth Century" (1908).
