Take it to Italy,
By
This review is from: The Art of the Italian Renaissance: Architecture, Sculpture, Painting, Drawing (Paperback)
Forget the weight restrictions - If you are traveling to Italy, read this before you go and take it with you to read while there. Gorgeous pictures, lots of facts, and interesting sidebars. Even if you are an avid art student, you will learn something and enjoy your Italian experience more for having befriended this tome.

3.0 out of 5 stars
less than what I have expected,
This review is from: The Art of the Italian Renaissance: Architecture, Sculpture, Painting, Drawing (Paperback)
I have bought this book mostly for the images, and unfortunately all the images are printed with this yellowish colour which make the reproductions far from their originals. I guess it's still ok for this price.
