Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

New York City photographers Bullaty and Lomeo and Parisian journalist Guillaume teamed earlier to produce Provence (Abbeville, 1993). During the past 30 years, the husband-and-wife photographers have accumulated the equivalent of a year spent in Tuscany. In 150 photographs they portray this area of Italy in land- and seascapes, with views of Pisa, Florence, and Siena. The landscapes are exquisite in their capture of light and texture, fooling the viewer into believing they are actually paintings. The details of art and architecture, whether in the cities or the picturesque hill towns, are also nicely represented. The accompanying text by Guillaume offers a view of this region, much of it sprinkled with the words of the famous who have spent time or were born there, including Stendhal, Henry James, Savonarola, Michelangelo, and the Brownings. The photographs complement the photographers' realization that "there is too much of everything to absorb," so "relax and ... look forward to new riches every day." Recommended for travel, art and architecture, and Italian studies collections.

From Booklist

The last time writer Guillaume teamed up with photographers Sonja Bullaty and Angelo Lomeo, it was to portray the natural beauty and artistic heritage of Provence. Their combined expertise now serves Tuscany well. Guillaume's poetic text provides an enchanting counterpoint to the mesmerizing photographic images and includes quotes from literary sources and vignettes recounting events in the lives of master painters and sculptors whose genius endowed Tuscany's historical development with great works of art and glorious architecture. Sublime colorplates constitute the heart of the book; flora, fauna, hill towns, and vineyards all appear perpetually bathed in Tuscany's incredible light. A fitting ode and testament to the aesthetic perfection of this Italian region. Alice Joyce

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tuscany (Hardcover)
In search of a beautiful picture book on Tuscany, this is yet another on my list of disappointments. I want a book which stirs my soul and captures the beauty of Tuscany I have seen - this does not.
