4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent overview of the smaller artistic treasures, 10 Aug 1998
By A Customer
I have visited some of the museums and locations mentioned in the book and Dr. Freed has managed to capture the essence and the feeling of the locales while, at the same time, provides an excellent insight into the artist and his time.

I thoroughly enjoyed the information and the descriptions. A larger format would have been a major enhancement but still I found it an excellent reference as well as a moving experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Joy !, 5 Aug 2003
By A Customer
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book whilst preparing for our forthcoming trip.
I cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone remotely interested in art or travel as each picture drawn by the author permits insights into each Artisit's life as well as the gallery, museum and village or town where it's situated.
Barbara Freed demonstrates much empathy with the artists and in particular that of Renoir who has since moved up on my list of favourite artists.
I thought the simple sketches a further enhancement to the text and truly hope that there are more similar books planned by the author.
