This is a beautiful, sumptuous book, crammed with detail and excellent colour reproductions. Other readers mightn't go for all the technical information but I can't get enough of it. I also prefer the discussions of individual works which occupy a large part of this volume -- its companion, 'Dürer to Veronese', takes a more synoptic view, which tends to obscure the fact that these are surveys of a collection.
That's my only quibble, and it isn't really with the book, which is about as accomplished at it could be -- so good, in fact, that it's tempting to read it as a textbook of the whole period. Much of the material is of general relevance, of course; but don't forget that many of the major works from this period aren't in galleries ... Read More:

After the first few sketches, you feel like you've got deja vu. They're all practically the same. Basic setup, plot device, catchphrase, the end. It's like having to write lines on the blackboard, just the same thing over and over. There are about five different sketches in this book, then they make a minor adjustment every time that character crops up again. What a waste.
