Summary: THE best bargain art book on Venice
Comment: I am totally madly, deeply in love with Venice and its 15th and 16th century artists. After having spent a fortune on art books about Venice, I stumbled onto this book at London's National Gallery. I have probably seen everything in this book in the original Venetian locales, but they are photographed so superbly that some actually are better than live-and-in-person. For example, some of my favorite paintings by Bellini in the Accademia are deliberately kept in dimly lit rooms by the conservationists, and Tintoretto's famous ceiling at Scuola de San Marco are neck-cringing and dark. So, to study these and any of the other scores of paintings you need this book. Every single photo is in large format, sumptous color. This is easily the best book bargain I bought last year. And I paid twice what Amazon is offering for it now!

Summary: Art in Venice
Comment: I found this book in my local library where I was looking for images that I might use in some way in a collage I'd started working on. I immediately knew that I must own it. Not the usual cofee table book of travel type photographs of Venice - but concentrating on the history, art and architecture of that fascinating city. Tho I've been there on two separate occasions, 30 years apart, this book has given me an irresistable longing to see the beauty that I somehow missed both times.

Summary: beautiful!
Comment: First, a word of warning: I was in Venice last fall to visit my daughter, who was studying there for the semester. I fell in love with Venice and wanted to buy a book to remember it by. I finally found this beautiful volume with wonderful pictures of all the magnificent art, architecture, and general feel of this magnificent city. Its title was "Venice." When I got home, I thought I'd buy a book on Venetian art, so I got this title. To my surprise, it was the same book I'd bought in Venice! No problem. My daughter was home for Christmas, and it made a nice gift. Now, assuming you haven't already bought this under its European title, I heartily recommend it to anyone who either loves art, or who loves Venice. It is an excellent art book, complete with all the necessary information about the artists and architects and their beautiful creations, all of which are shown in large color pictures. But it is also a wonderful travel book, with many superb photos of all of Venice's glorious landmarks, which, of course, fall under the classification of "art" as well. All in all, a superb title, and the price is well less than its value. (Most books of this quality go for about $60-$75.)
