Product Description
Review
Art lovers will delight in this reissue, which was originally written in 1938 while Kenneth Clark was director of the National Gallery. Presented for the first time in faithful full-color reproduction, the randomly chosen details from 71 of the Gallery's best-loved paintings are arranged in pairs of iconographic similarity. Some of the comparisons are obvious...and others are inspired...Clark's highly readable comments are typical of the style that endeared him years ago to a wide audience of art connoisseurs and amateurs alike.--J. William Shank "Leonardo "
