Customer Reviews

This will make a very nice gift to your mother in law

This is the kind of book you can offer to any delicate person (such as your mother in law). Be sure she will say nice things about you after this. The book is the archetype for coffee table book. It will inspire you to go and visit Vatican palace and churches. You will appreciate so much to "read" (mainly pictures) it if you visited the place itself. Buy this book if you plan to visit Roma; don't bring the book with you (HEAVY). Read it in bed when you come back and try to recover from jet lag.

Absolutely Amazing!

The paintings in this book are incredible. The collection ranges from the years 1000 to the mid 1800s and includes words from Daddi to Michelangelo and Raphael to Crosato. Oils, Frescos and incredible color! I have enjoyed reading this as much as looking at the beautiful artwork.
