5.0 out of 5 stars Beauty and Scholarship United, October 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Sculpture: From Antiquity to the Present (Jumbo Series , 4 vols, burgundy cloth bound) (Hardcover)

I first saw this set after returning from Florence and was delighted to find the highest quality reproductions of Donatello's work that I had seen. Further examination showed that that this four volume set reviewed sculpture in both breadth and depth, an astonishing success far beyond coffee-table status. In addition, the set has turned out to be a special gift greatly appreciated by all who love art, whether or not sculpture is a special interest to them.

By A Customer

This review is from: Sculpture: From Antiquity to the Present (Jumbo Series , 4 vols, burgundy cloth bound) (Hardcover)

Indepth studies of the art as well as breath-taking color photographes. An unbelievable collection that is a must have for any sculpture enthusiast. A bargain among art books and art history books alike.
