Genre: Nonfiction—Art History

Summary & Review:
This small book serves as a
guide to the many artworks by the Spanish painter Goya that are found in the
Prado. Along with background and descriptions are numerous full-color
reproductions of Goya’s paintings.
While
this was short, and therefore not very in-depth, it was an interesting look at
many of Goya’s paintings. My wife picked this up when she was in Spain and she
also has the gallery guide book that focuses specifically on Goya’s very famous
Black Paintings, which I look forward
to reading.
Rating: 5.0
Only a 5 cuz it's boring or is that what you'd grade his art?
ReplyDeleteNo, I like Goya's art. The 5 was just due to the fact that the book wasn't very in-depth, or especially entertaining.
