"This is a thick and tremendously heavy book, but only physically heavy, and Gombrich is far from thick in his treatment of art down the ages. Read it lying face-down on the floor. Use it as a door-stop.
The reproductions are exquisite in colour and detail, and of course it can be dipped into at leisure and as the mood takes. The Italian Renaissance is comprehensively covered.
I wanted to buy this book several years ago but thought £25 was a bit steep, then found it last year on sale in Central London at half price and could no longer resist."
"I don't know much about art... I do now. Well, one man's opinions on art Hx...but based on huge experience, research and references. Heavy to carry, and at times read, but covering a huge time-frame and well illustrated (as you'd expect). Deservedly a classic."
