Must Hve, December 1, 2006
This review is from: The Power of Icons: Russian and Greek Icons 15th-19th Century: Collection Jan Morsink (Hardcover)
This is one of the best books on the subject to have been published in recent years. It is very informative and well written - there are one or two minor spelling mistakes, but that does not affect the overall quality. So many books are repetetive and pedestrian that it is refreshing to find one which covers so much including the history of the thought behind the Icon as well as technical details. If anyone only wants two or three books on the Icon this should be one of them.

Lovely book. Lavish with illustrations. Perfect for what I wanted.
