Customer Reviews

Great paintings by a great artist!

I just love the paintings in this book. I found it in the library, and the front is very eye-catching, I check it out right away. Earlier I have only seen his paintings, never knowing anything more about the artist than that he is known for his religious art. It was nice to know a bit about the man too, the little that is known today.
