I have several of the adult coloring books, from sealife to flowers to several of the famous artist series, including Van Gogh, the Impressionists, Monet, etc. I just recieved this book and am impressed that it is two or three times the size of all of the other books, making it a good value. Each page has a picture on one side and is blank on the other side, which means that one can make good use of each picture, without impressions from coloring one side going through to the other side. There were a few pictures that were duplicates from some of my other coloring books, but only a very few.

Wonderful book! I like the summaries of the artist, the orginal pictures for examples, and the amount of detail for a beginner to moderate colorer is not too much. I bought this book for myself (44 years old), Dad (82) and Mother (78). This will be the Christmas gift this year for everyone in my family.

A great fun way to introduce famous art works to the young. It has a small version of each art work on the cover. Your child/student can color the art work the same or make it their own.

This is a great color book. It took me awhile to get started on it because I was a bit overwhelmed by the "classicness" of the pictures. How could I ever do justice to these great artist? But then I started just having fun with it. Sometimes I try to stay with the artists color patterns but sometimes I do my own; I kind of dolled up the Mona Lisa.
It's a high quality book, I highly recommend it.

Bought this for my 7 year old son. He loves coloring the pictures and it is amusing to see the Mona Lisa with big red lips and blue hair. I also like that the pages rip out easily so I can give him one picture at a time. Good deal!

This is such an educational coloring book. Who knew learning about Art could be so much FUN!

Who says you can't complete a masterpiece?

For just a few dollars, you can be Picasso! Pick up your crayons, colored pencils or whatever you wish, and repeat the choices of the Masters, or show Grant Wood how it really should be done with some choices of your own. (I've always suspected that those American Gothic folks would look a bit more cheerful with auburn hair!)

Fun and educational!

Art Masterpieces to Color: 60 Great Paintings from Botticelli to Picasso (Dover Colouring Books)

this coloring book was purchased at the same time i purchased the one linked below. as i said in my other review, i am an avid fan of coloring to relax and relieve stress. i also found this coloring book on amazon and had to have it! there are 60 pages to complete... i am planning on searching each picture on the internet as i go along and trying to replicate the colors, shading etc.

this book is beyond words! i am completely impressed with the intricate details in the pictures! i have not yet colored in it, but i love looking at the drawings! this is going to be quite the project when i start it. this is definitely for older persons who love to color.

The pictures in thei book are WAY too simple. It kind of looks like masterpieces if they were drawn by a junior high school student or a graffiti artist. The only reason that I gave it three stars is because of the wide selection of artists and the nice mis of well known works with some that are more obscure (those must be the pictures that another reviewer called "weird pictures").. The quality of paper and the organization of the book is very good. I just wish that the pictures were a bit more challenging.

I love this coloring book! I am an elementary school art teacher and I am a big fan of dover coloring books, I like to give pages to my students to color when they finish projects early. I especially like coloring books featuring famous artworks, I use them to supplement lessons about various artists.

This is the king of all art masterpiece coloring books. I knew it would be 60 works, but when I received it I was still amazed at just how many artworks it featured! And such a wide variety of different artists and artworks, too. There are a few pages i will probably never use because of nudity (i don't condone censorship, but elementary-aged kids just do not handle such images very well), but there are so many pictures it doesn't matter.

I will use this coloring book very often. It was a great value, and more than worth it. I wish I bought it years ago!
