Oeuvre catalogue of drawings by Gerard van Rossum

Charles Dumas, De Rotterdamse landschapstekenaar Gerard van Rossum (1699-1772) en zijn verzameling van voornamelijk zeventiende-eeuwse landschapstekeningen, Den Haag 2015

The author, retired senior curator at the RKD in The Hague and chairman of the Delineavit et Sculpsit Foundation, is known for his thorough arthistorical research and detailed publications, which are often bulky volumes, to mention only Haagse stadsgezichten 1550-1800 Topografische schilderijen van het Haags Historisch Museum, published in 1991 (747 pp.) and De kasteeltekeningen van Abraham Rademaker (with Willem Beelaerts van Blokland), published in 2006 (512 pp.). He is also the editor of three Liber Amicorum, two of which were also designed by him and privately published (see our Publications page on this site). What started as a contribution for one of the Festschriften developed into the present book which describes (and illustrates) the drawn oeuvre of the lesser known Rotterdam artist Gerard van Rossum, as well as his P&D collection, consisting mainly of seventeenth-century Dutch landscape drawings.
