Customer Reviews

A useful guide to renaissance art with a fresh perspective.
Books about renaissance art tend to focus on Italian art. This book differs from the standard book in two ways: it's about Northern European art and it's perspective is on art in context. With this content this book is a valuable addition to any art history library, especially at it's low price considering the many colour reproductions. The timeline at the back of the book and the easy to follow text makes it useful as a beginners book for art history studies. Beware though that this is the exact same book as "The Art of the Northern Renaissance" (Everyman Art Library) all though with a different titel.

Bought not borrowed!
I borrowed this book from the library for a course I'm taking - as soon as I saw it I had to buy it. A wonderful, authoritative, readable book. It's quite small for an Art History book but manages to cram in fabulous pictures that aren't in other, bigger, books - as well as the ones you might expect from the cover picture. Highly recommended.
