5.0 out of 5 stars
Then Again,I'm a sucker for Art Books like this one!!,
By
This review is from: Nicolas Poussin (Paperback)
Anything with enough color photos of Old Masters will get a 5-star from me. My only complaint here is this one has only 12 in color, although there are 165 black and whites. Anyway, a wonderfully written work describing a good bit of the painter's world from about 1600-1665, including the classical Greek influence on many artists of the time, including Poussin. A nice tale of generally nice people (seems unusual) including patrons and collectors, centered in Rome. All in all a beautiful book,despite the lack of color glossies! You can tell that this,like any other Old Master Bios I've read, is a real labor of love for all concerned...If it is too in depth, at times like a PH.D., its still a terrific browser for the above reasons!!
