Florence: The Paintings & Frescoes, 1250-1743

More artwork than one can consume when in Florence. This book is an incredible tour in itself. I enjoyed explainations, discriptions, and history of works I saw but had no time to stop and ponder.

This books collection of Frescoes is second to none, and they fill the entire page properly. This is a great reference book and also one I have on the coffee table for distinguished guest to observe. It's quite a nice book and the supporting information of the Frescoes is ample.

Most beautiful book , very happy with the purchased.

A must-have book for artists, art lovers.

This is hands down my favorite coffee table art book I have. The images are fantastic, the presentation of the book itself is incredible. I got it on sale for 30 dollars and the quality is superior to some books I have that are were a couple hundred dollars. Even at the original price of 80, it would be worth it. This is a great addition to your art history library!

Absolutely LOVE THIS BOOK!! I've been to Florence and this book helps to recapture the memories of the glorious works in striking detail. So Pleased!

This book includes a vast amount of art. Some of the illustrations are small due to the amount included. Text is very helpful. The book is quite heavy - but beautiful for the coffee table.

This is a beautiful book however the quality of the assembly of the book leaves a little to be desired.(Glue issues). The Text is very interesting and the illustrations although small in some instances are excellent. I would recommend this book to anyone with only the slightest interest in art.

Muazzam bir eser! Hasarlı gelen ürünü değiştiren Amazon’a da teşekkürlerimi iletmek istiyorum. Sizinle güvende hissediyorum. Teşekkürler.

I have acquired The Louve, Vatican and the above. However, regardless how much I love art I am not foolish enough to pay over £70 for The Prado. ( plus, my wife would cut them off ) Florence is an absolutely amazing book. I admit you could go back and forward to the Louve and still not cover it but you might see the works your looking for. Now this is were the books are totally different. Florence has its five main museums, obviously the great Uffizi but also twenty-eight additional museums and churches. I am not going to list the Artist's here but they obviously cover Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Titian Caravaggio and a great deal more. Even painters that are not that well known. Artist's that sent me over to an encyclopaedia for even more information on them because some of the work is beautiful. So, to sum this book up you have 2,000 painted works from all the notable art institutions. ( Now I Cannot Be Wrong......Because I Read It At The Back Of The Bloody Box!) But seriously. This is a very very beautiful book which should give you many many days to study and also read. But again the same old adage applies: where are you going to put it. Florence weighs over 4Kg, not as bad as Michelangelo's book just over 5Kg but also hard to find a home for, hard to move and a definite broken toe if dropped on the foot ) " But Good Heavens Worth It " Plus like me, you might want Florence, Louve, Vatican, Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci and a load of beautiful Taschen's. ( For some reason I am not very popular in my house ) Beautiful Book and Very well packaged by Amazon. Looked after as if it was there own. Great care was taken so if the box took a bash she will be o.k THANK YOU AMAZON. DBS x

The book is very good in terms of the explanation of the art and the artist.

Very thorough. I was expecting the comprehensive pictures of frescoes & artwork. What I wasn't expecting was the great write-ups on select key artwork pieces and extra historical background of the various churches and museums. This complemented my other history references I'm reading/watching in preparation for a vacation to Italy. It's a BIG book - so be prepared to spend some quality time with it.
