The volumes in this bibliophile series provide unique portraits of European art history. Readers gain fascinating insights into the artists' biographies and their styles: Durer and his famous portraits and altarpieces, the vivid farm scenes of Pieter Bruegel, the great painters of the Italian Renaissance, the symphonies in color of Titian, the mysterious chiaroscuro paintings of Caravaggio, the rococo worlds of Antoine Watteau, and the great historical paintings created by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. Authoritative texts illuminate the decisive stages in the artists' lives and the development of their styles, explaining their impact against the background of their social context as well as their significance for following generations of artists. Plentiful large sized illustrations showcase each artist's oeuvre. Each volume contains a comprehensive appendix providing information on the artists' biographies in tabular form as well as an extensive bibliography. Each of the authors of the individual volumes is renowned in his or her field.

Quality Art Book,
By rosarybede (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fra Angelico (Masters of Italian Art) (Paperback)
This is the paperback edition of the hardcover book written by Gabriele Bartz but it is the same book, only in a smaller size and affordable. It is a quality publication from HF Ullmann, a European publisher. I recommend buying it new because it is so inexpensive and you can take care of it yourself.
