from Prentice Hall
Customer Review:
I think that I am like many people in that my knowledge of the Renaissance Art of Northern Europe comes from a few lectures in a college art history survey course. A few iconic images from the likes of Bosch, Holbein,Durer and Breugel are all that come to mind. I knew the era was important but the... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Harry N. Abrams, Inc.
Customer Review:
I generally read art history as a gentle way to access historical information in a setting less dry than the average non fiction text. Michael Camille's "Glorious Visions" is a cool, soothing, and soaring text which leaves you feeling self satisfied for reading something informative.

Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
This is a frustrating book. Graphically, with its numerous vivid, full-color photographs, it is quite striking. Textually, though not poorly written, per se, it is bland. Moreover, even though surveys are seldom ground-breaking, Lowden's ideas strike me as ones that are not his own - he seems in... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
