This is absolutely stunning and fascinating! Even someone like me, a casual art aficionado, can spend a few mesmerized hours poring over the gorgeous, varied images and learning about the stories and secrets hidden within in captivating detail.

The art is beautifully rendered, both in wide scope and in closer foci, highlighting critical details. The range is superb too--classics, photography, fashion, street art, and even installations are all represented. I appreciated exploring such a huge range of artists, from Caravaggio to ODB!

This would make a wonderful addition to libraries, but also a great gift for almost anyone, even if they're not particular art fans. It's interesting and accessible enough to appeal to everyone and I can't wait to get my own copy!

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!
