Quality reproductions, lacking cross references
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 6, 2024
As others have said here there are very nice details. Each painting is shown and numbered at the beginning of the book, although nearly all are shown in a small size. The details of paintings then appear randomly througout and you can't conveniently find a specific painting you may be looking for. A simple page reference could of been included. Still, I would recommend the book for the clear image quality.

EXELENTE!
Reviewed in Spain on May 13, 2020
Exellente compra.Muy recomendable.
La calidad de las fotografias es destacable,los textos claros y con buenas explicaciones y ciertas curiosidades.El formato (26 × 33) es perfecto para disfrutar del tomo con bastante comodidad dado que no pesa demasiado,lo cual es de agradecer dado que es un libro de arte.Como pintor lo consulto y lo disfruto bastante.Tambien destacar la erudiccion de stefano zuffi como siempre exelente.El unico pero....no se editan estos tomos en español lo cual es una pena.Ello te obliga a la adquisicion de estos en otros idiomas.En mi caso en ingles o frances,idiomas que manejo bien afortunadamente pero un esfuerzo editorial por editar estos exelentes libros en español seria de agradecer.Por lo demas el vendedor ha cumplido por encima de mis expectativas.No lo conocia y es nuevo,pero el paquete no solo ha llegado en perfectas condiciones sino que ademas con casi diez dias de antelacion a la fecha minima de entrega.Perfecto.Lo recomiendo.
