I can’t comment much on the text because there’s really not much of it, and the coverage of the entire world of art is, of course, thin in a 176-page book. However, the images are gorgeous, luminous, and at an immense 14″x17″ suitable for framing!
Highlights, in order of appearrance:
da Vinci: Lady with an Ermine
Canova: Amor and Psyche Standing
Unknown: Mask of Tutankhamun (front, reverse, face detail)
Unknown: Apollo of Veii
Mirone: The Discus Thrower (front, side, face detail)
