Exceptional
Can I give it 10/5 stars? I bought the hardcopy (as it is necessary that a book this well done be bought in hardcopy), and I cannot get over how beautifully it’s been made. Exactly what I was looking for to learn about great art, their significance and a bit about their creators. This is chronologically organised and informative. Would make an absolutely wonderful gift! I bought it for myself to appreciate and learn in more depth about great paintings.

Perfect gift for every artist!
Bought this amazing book for my father who has graduated from an art academy! He was over the moon to receive this well presented and well written book with great paintings as he loves Art :) But he said that almost all of the paintings in this book are inside of the other art books :D Makes a perfect gift for a perfect price! 5* I would only change a front hard cover picture on it to the other painting and not that stool.. P.s. Me personally-I found only two paintings that I liked. This book could be good for art lessons at school.
