Customer Reviews

Simply: You must have it

The book is very,very good. First it is in the typical Konnemann Editions format,big and top quality paper. It has many illustrations, many of full page size, that are of top quality. Also, at its price the book is a bargain.If you are interested in Early Renaissance arts, you will find this book a valuable addition to your library and because of its very good price it makes for a perfect gift. However, it must be mentioned that the book features mostly Durer's superb woodcuts and his paintings to a lesser degree. I like woodcuts more than paintings, your call though.In addition all of the texts are very well writen without errors, by experts of the field,with many details that do not tire the reader. A last thing, taking only in consideration the book's price and its format and image-paper quality, it makes all other various editions of Durer's work look inferior.
