Twenty years ago, Benjamin Moser followed a lover to an ancient Dutch town; in order to make sense of this new place, he threw himself into the Dutch museums.

Soon, he found himself unearthing the strange, inspiring and sometimes terrifying stories of the artists who shaped one of the most luminous moments of human creativity: the Dutch Golden Age.

As he explored the hidden world of the Dutch Masters (and one Mistress), he met a crowd of fascinating personalities and found that they, too, were struggling with the same questions. Why do we make art? What is art, anyway – and what is an artist?
