An excellent book and a great value
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Pippal's book is a thorough overview. In paperback form (and at paperback price) it still provides 71 illustrations, most of which are in color. Pippal's focus is on painting and architecture, but other visual media are included as well. The time period ranges from the days of the Roman Empire to the present. Pippal also includes political history because the Hapsburgs were an essential influence on the arts. The book is very well written in English, which is a credit to its translator, Michael Foster. As one reads, there is no hint of the awkward sentence structure so common in translations. In short, I highly recommend the book.
