4.0 out of 5 stars
Great book, beautifully illustrated.
This book is actually a catalog, is was released for the re opening of Leighton's house museum. It has alot of information on his life, his education, painting philosophy and inspiration. The photos of the restored house are amazing are beautiful. About the cover piece, well I can talk about that, I am a docent guide in The Museo de Arte De Ponce, Flaming June's home...

The printing colors were inaccurate, I almost sent it back
Do not advise for the true Art Lover, especially if you know the palette of colors it was painted in. Flaming June has a creme color sky, not blue.

The photos of the restored house are amazing are beautiful. About the cover piece, well I can talk about that, I am a docent guide in The Museo de Arte De Ponce, Flaming June's home since 1962. The other reviewer is correct, the cover picture looks strange, not only is the sky not blue(actually is like a light lilac beige hue)but the orange of the dress is wrong, the color in the actual painting is far richer, it has many, many variations and tones, is that precisely what makes it so special. The should have used a better more detailed image.

a fantastic collection of leighton works,
This review is from: Frederic, Lord Leighton: A Princely Painter of the Victorian Age (Hardcover)
I found this book to be a fantastic collection of Leighton's work to date. I refer to the book often for inspiration as the color plates are numerous and well detailed. The price is also fantastic as I would expect to pay closer to $50 for such a book. The book also contains a lot of highly detailed drawings that are superb!
