A beautiful book covering Botticelli's works.,
By Aaron Gatt Floridia (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Botticelli: Life and Work (Hardcover)
This is a well laid out and comprehensively illustrated book. The quality of the illustrations is excellent and the text is detailed and well laid out. The author covers Botticelli's work from an artitic perspective and places them within their historical context. The iconographical significance of the paintings is also covered in some detail. All in all an excellent publication suitable for anyone who wishes to know more about Botticelli.

A beautiful book!,
By singer-songwriter - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Botticelli: Life and Work (Hardcover)
This is fascinating book about the life of Botticelli and techniques he used. The reproductions are wonderful, including some close-ups of characters from selected paintings. I recently returned from Italy, and having viewed many of these paintings at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence makes the reading and the beautiful color plates throughout the book all the more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this book to fans of Renaissance art.

Fantastic,
By Agnolo van Rijn "Crazy For Painting" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Botticelli: Life and Work (Hardcover)
This book is worth the money if only for the reproductions. Lots of large plates with a lot of close ups as well. If you only want one book on Botticelli this would be a good one.

Botticelli - life and Word,
By nanabanana - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Botticelli: Life and Work (Hardcover)
This is an amazing book. It was everything promised and so much more. We have spent hours enjoying the pictures. I have been to Italy and seen some of them in person. This book gives us the opportunity to study them in detail. The quality is outstanding and the book is perfect in every way.
