Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Translated from the 1997 French original, Great Masters adds nothing to the understanding of European painting. Not the "comprehensive survey" it claims to be, instead this offers one artist on one page with one picture (or occasionally two or three) and a potted biography and discussion. There are a few unusual images from French and Spanish provincial collections, but there is no intellectual content or apparent plan for the volume other than a chronological one; the single-page chronologies of historical and cultural events for each century are too brief and baldly presented. Although the plates are large and generally pretty good, this title is not recommended for library collections: nearly all the images exist in standard surveys (Janson, Gardner, etc.), which also supply highly superior discussions of context and art historical narrative.?Jack Perry Brown, Art Inst. of Chicago Libs.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Superficial Overview, April 17, 2003
This review is from: Great Masters of European Painting (Hardcover)
You might like this book for a quick reference, but it offers very little. It certainly is not worth the full price.
