Great book and lovely large format.
This is a great book to buy and read if you're looking to increase your understanding and appreciation of some of the world's best paintings, and of the artists behind the works. It's very nicely illustrated with really good quality photographs of some of the world's most famous masterpieces and in some cases, photographic portraits of the artists themselves too. The book is a good size with ample space for easily view-able illustrations and has a well written text.
