.Venetian Colour: Marble, Mosaic, Painting and Glass, 1250-1550 City Travel Guides > Books > Bestsellers by: P Hills October 11, 1999 This is a really wonderful, unique book. It is lovely and glossy, like a coffee table art book, EXCEPT that the text is perhaps more wonderful than the images. This book is an inciteful and original look at how colour and culture inform one another. I read it while living for 3 months in Venice and found I was seeing the city THROUGH the lens of this book. I then passed it on to visitors, who became equally mezmerized by it. This book is engagingly written, scholarly, and, in my opinion, a unique and important contribution to the existing art historical analysis of Venitian art. well worth the asking price, a gem! >>See More Reviews & Details on Venetian Colour: Marble, Mosaic, Painting and Glass, 1250-1550 |

.Italian Renaissance Painting (Phaidon Colour Library) City Travel Guides > Books > Bestsellers by: Keith Roberts 1993-08 The first half of the book is a useful overview of the period, accompanied by twenty black and white photographs of renaissance masterpieces, most notably Leonardo's Last Supper and MIchelangelo's Pieta (pre-vandalism). The second half of the book contains 48 beautiful, full-page, colour photographs (each explained in brief) of paintings which define the Renaissance, many accompanied by smaller photos of other interesting works for the purposes of comparison or illustration of the text. I'm always drawn to art history books with lots of colour photographs and this book represents outstanding value for money in this respect. The 24-pages of prose are slightly tough going on a first reading but are worth re-reading. Not ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Italian Renaissance Painting (Phaidon Colour Library) |

.Leonardo DA Vinci on the Human Body: The Anatomical, the Physiological and Embryological Drawings of Leonardo DA Vinci City Travel Guides > Books > Bestsellers by: C.D. O'Malley August 01, 2007 The prints are not of the greatest quality; they certainly don't match those found in 'the divine and grotesque'. However, there are loads of amazing drawings and the accompanying text includes full translation of Mr Da Vinci's notes. For 8 quid this is a great value book and should appeal to anyone with an interest in human anatomy, art and history. >>See More Reviews & Details on Leonardo DA Vinci on the Human Body: The Anatomical, the Physiological and Embryological Drawings of Leonardo DA Vinci |

.Brunelleschi's Dome: The Story of the Great Cathedral in Florence City Travel Guides > Books > Bestsellers by: Ross King April 06, 2000 A fascinating short account of the construction of what us still the largest brick dome in the world. The sheer scale of the project and the daunting nature of the challenges Brunelleschi faced are breathtaking. The book could do with a few more diagrams and modern close up photographs, but is otherwise a fine book. >>See More Reviews & Details on Brunelleschi's Dome: The Story of the Great Cathedral in Florence |
