Summary: The most informative art guide I know
Comment: I first saw this book in one of my classes, and I've loved it ever since. The paintings themselves are amazing, but the little hidden messages the artist included nake them absolutely fascinating. I had to write a report on a piece of art, and I got at least 75% of my information from this book. It is a must for anyone studying art, or anyone who just enjoys it.
Rating: 5
Summary: This is an excellent work for the curious novice to art
Comment: I am a student at Duke University and I discovered this book while in a classical studies course at Duke. Cumming's insight into Raphael's "The School of Athens" was very helpful. I soon bought this book and his one on Great Artists and have enjoyed learning from both of them. I love to learn but I am not that experienced in art history. This book was the perfect tool for a novice, such as myself.
Rating: 5
Summary: If you only invest in 1 book to learn about art, this is it.
Comment: This book is a great introduction or review for adults or teens. Using famous works of art, in color sure beats the first art appreciation book I read in college which had drawings and black and white grainy photos. Even with a degree in art history, I found this book a great refresher.
