Newly converted art lover

From the perspective of someone with no art training, I actually wanted to go to Europe and elsewhere to see for myself the architecture and art that Silver explains so wonderfully in this book. He helped me to have a deeper appreciation of many small details that I otherwise would have overlooked. His explanations are both clear and competent. It is also helpful that the book is written from a historical perspective, so that you have a context in which to understood the values and influences embedded in each of the works.

Intriguing to have interest in art and history.

This book is very interesting for study. And I like this kind of books. I`ll be waiting for a new books.
