Summary: An excellent book on a relatively understudied subject
Comment: This book is one of my favorites in my extensive art history collection. Komanecky is an excellent writer and alothough the pictures don't give justice to the real thing, they are still vibrant. The layout of the book makes it easy to follow, and the author describes everything in detail, and even goes so far as to describe copper in general. Very impressive book and I highly recommend it!

Summary: An excellent catalogue about an obscure subject
Comment: Catalogues of this kind serve the noble purpose of casting light upon obscure or uncharted areas of art history. Imagine a perfectly vivid Rembrandt , about the size of a three by five card, painted with the full talents of that great master. This perfectly preserved masterwork, as well as works by El Greco, Frans Hals, Murillo and lesser well known artists make up the superb exhibition documented in this complete catalogue. The only drawback to this book is that the color reproduction of the paintings is yellowish, murky and occasionally even flipped! I would have given it the coveted fifth star , except that in presenting such works of miraculous detail and perfection, only perfect reproductions will do.
