Paintings in Venice

Rating:
Summary: Gorgeous book, unequaled!
Review: This immense book showcases hundreds of high quality paintings from Venice - from the 15th century to 20th century, from the most traditional to modern. Religious, mythical, portraits, landscapes (and yes the canals), mostly full page and all in deep saturated color. Each painting is accompanied with a full-page in depth article on the artist/painting. This may be a large and pricey book, but it is a must-have for any appreciator of Italian art, and European art in general - as paintings from other European countries such as France and Spain currently housed in Venice are included here as well.
