Customer Review:
Being an art history major and having read numerous books on 17th and 18th art, I found Minor's work to be one of the least helpful or accessible. He arranges his text by subjects instead of chronologically or by artist or by country. Though an interesting approach, it makes it difficult to follow... more info

Customer Review:
This monograph is partly responsible for the recent interest in Gentileschi's paintings and life. Artemisia was a Carravagisti, a follower of Carravagio. Her father, Oarazio, was also a painter and Artemisia benefited from his influence, giving her paintings a lushness (I know I am not being... more info

Customer Review:
Not so much a book as a collection of essays of first-rate quality about the 17th century Jesuit polymath Athanasius Kircher. The range of academic disciplines of the contributors is a testimony to the egregious intellect of Kircher - music, Egyptology, code-writing, Astronomy, acoustics, the... more info

Customer Review:
'Sienese Painting' is a sumptuously produced book (it has some 350 illustrations, with 200 in colour) and as a general survey certainly does its job well. It does have a flaw however, namely in the lack of clear connections between the text and the illustrations.Indeed in a number of instances... more info

Bernini was the creator of so many marvels in Roma you can consider this book as a guide book for this sacred capital. Bernini was not only the creator of the most famous fountain in Roma, he also printed his personality both to Vatican (famous arcades) and the rest of the town. You will also be... more info
