Cels 'was an art connoisseur, recognized in Europe and England as an authority on Flemish and Dutch art of the 16th and 17th centuries.... His health having been undermined by the war was his reason for making South Australia his home. He brought his pictures with him and offered them at a comparatively low price to the National Art Gallery because of his solicitous desire to be able to see them frequently'. This is a descriptive catalogue of the 32 items in the collection, which includes works by Rubens, Jordaens, Snyders, Van Dyck, Brueghel, de Keyser and Brouwer.
