The Bader Collection stands among the great private collections of its kind in the world. For the past 40 years Dr. Alfred Bader of Milwaukee has donated works to the Agnes Etherington Art Centre at his Canadian alma mater, Queens University, where the entire Bader Collection will be housed . This extraordinary collection demonstrates a rich interplay of interests and insights, at the same time drawing back the curtain on the motivations and principles behind these remarkable acquisitions, whose history dates back to 1950. This scholarly publication presents 200 Dutch and Flemish Baroque paintings that form the collections focus. Exhaustively researched, the richly illustrated entries present each painting in detail. An introductory essay explores the life of this remarkable collector and the motivations that drive his pursuit of the art of the Age of Rembrandt with such passion and insight.
