Originally published by Shawangunk Press at $37.50, this title has been acquired by Purple Mountain Press, Ltd., and is now offered at $19.50. Thirty-two of the many illustrations are in full color. According to Pulitzer Prize winning author William Kennedy: "The paintings of L. F. Tantillo affect us the way a well-told story does: they carry us out of the mundane world into the realm of the imagination. . .he isolates us in a moment past and, through his exquisit talent, makes us accept his vision of these lost worlds as restored reality. He is the-artist-as-time-machine, a marvelous achievement."

This review is from: Visions of New York State: The Historical Paintings of L.F. Tantillo (Paperback)
I just finished this amazing book. I live in the area where Tantillo lives and paints. I am also a history buff. Anybody who lives in the Hudson Valley or loves the dutch heritage in this valley will love tis book and learn a lot.
