The range of works of art exhibited is various:
There are some Renaissance masterpieces like 2 paintings by Correggio and 2 by Parmigianino, portraits by Lotto (The very famous "Andrea Odoni", for example) and other superb Venetians (Titian, Bassano, Tintoretto etc.). But more interesting are the virtually unknown and newly restored Seicento pictures: Cagnacci, Baglione, two Caravaggio (but I think -and I'm sure I will not alone- only tke "Calling of St.Andrew" is original), Domenico Fetti, Annibale Carracci... Among the drawings, Michelangelo and Raphael; and some antiquarian sheets from the Paper Museum of Cassiano dal Pozzo, maybe by Nicolas Poussin. Perhaps the best surprise is to see the 12 coppers by Luca Giordano with ... Read More: >>More Details |

The Seven Wonders of The Ancient World is one of the most complete and illustrative books that I have ever read on the subject. Each chapter explains in detail one of these seven ancient monuments, starting with it's history, location, purpose, building and description; and ending in how they came to be no more or the way the sites still stand in our day. The pictures included within the text also tell us, besides the description of the monument, a little bit about the way that archaeology reconstructed the pieces to the puzzling appearance of some of these monuments and the way archaeologists interpreted ancient accounts of people that lived to see these wonders in their heyday. The book also contains two chapters in which the authors describe others ... Read More:

This is the simplest and most immediately appealing exhibition catalogue I've read for a while. I find with many catalogues that I have to have my 'academic' head on, in order to follow the arguments and theory; while the essays in this volume were certainly academic, they were written elegantly and simply. The paintings in the exhibition are presented in various categories (e.g. the status portrait, the cultural portrait), preceded by short 'bite-size' essays that provide an insight into the context, and also illustrate their point with comparative works which are not in the exhibition.
Recently, exhibition catalogues have moved away from presenting the works one by one, and describing each individually. Instead, paintings tend to be inserted ... Read More: >>More Details |

Finest Hourby: Phil Craig, Tim Clayton November 18, 1999 |

I found this a struggle, I must confess, for the first 100 or so pages. In order to remain chronological it leaps from one person's perspective to another. Until you get the hang of this it is often difficult to follow. Just as you've become involved with one story, it changes to another and you think "OK, was this guy the hurricane pilot or the sergeant major?" More times that I care to remember I had to go back to the index of characters to remind myself who was "talking" now.
But I'm SO GLAD I stuck with it. One of the reviews on the cover says it should be part of the national curriculum and I find that hard to disagree with. It took a long time to read (over a month, but I always read 2 or 3 books at a time) but the stories are heartwarming ... Read More: >>More Details |
