This glossy big book merits 3 plus stars because of its beautiful photography and style, but its writing is typically empty art and culture criticism of the Italian "Dante, un grande poeta" school. It is a style of empty rhetoric and no intelligence.

Magnificent; however, I do think that some of the paintings/drawings look a little amateurish and not up to T&H's normal standard; however, the photography is nothing short of first rate.
