A magnificent, never-before-published collection of every painting and fresco on display in the Uffizi, the Galleria Palatina of the Pitti Palace, the Accademia, and the Duomo, and more -- nearly 2,000 works of art -- all presented in a beautiful slipcased package. The city of Florence is home to dozens of museums and palaces that contain many of the worldโs most renowned works of art. Florence: The Paintings & Frescoes is a rich and magnificent collection of thousands of paintings and frescoes that are visited by millions of travelers every year including the art of Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Ghirlandaio, Correggio, Botticelli, Caravaggio, Titian, Rembrandt, van Dyck, El Greco, and hundreds more. Explore the history of art in Florence through seven essays by Ross King, bestselling author of Brunelleschi's Dome and Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling, which connect how the paintings, politics, and every-day lives of Florentines influenced one another . Art historian Anja Grebe, author of The Louvre and The Vatican , also highlights 250 of the most iconic and significant paintings and frescoes in the historic city with details on the attributes of the works, biographical details of the artists, and more. This spectacular collection of nearly 2,000 paintings and frescoes also includes two removable posters of Florence -- one from the Renaissance and one from the present day. Review: Excellent Quality for your Art History Library - This is hands down my favorite coffee table art book I have. The images are fantastic, the presentation of the book itself is incredible. I got it on sale for 30 dollars and the quality is superior to some books I have that are were a couple hundred dollars. Even at the original price of 80, it would be worth it. This is a great addition to your art history library! Review: beautiful book - beautiful book. the quality was as described, and it arrived ahead of the scheduled date. thank you for your great service ๐

I have been searching for a book like this for years
I think this is the most incredible value I have ever received. I have been searching for a book like this for years. I am an avid lover of Italian Renaissance Paintings, Frescoes, and Art. This book is worth 4 times more than I paid for it.Gratefully, I found this book Which is so amazing and beautiful.I can tell it was put together by someone who also has a great passion for Italian art. I also have the Louvre and The Vatican by Anja Grebe, she and Ross King have done an amazing job with this book.This book also comes in a sturdy box with the same Botticelli Venus picture on it.If you love Italian Art, you should not be without this book.

Beautiful book
This book includes a vast amount of art. Some of the illustrations are small due to the amount included. Text is very helpful. The book is quite heavy - but beautiful for the coffee table.

love the book and a good reminder of days in Florence. The paper quality is not good enough for a book in that price.

Beautiful Book - Torn in Shipping
This book arrived with torn cover and tear was through to page 17. This book was for a gift but I will tape and keep. Caution: buy books for gifts only in a retail store where you can see product . Amazon may have started as online book seller but shipping books is no longer in their top priority for quality . Books was shipped loose in box with absolutely no packing. But tear was likely done prior to packing. This is an Amazon complaint. The book is a beautiful presentation of masterpieces in Florence and no problem with publishing/publisher .

Comprehensive, great artwork, excellent background info as a bonus - highly recommend!
Very thorough. I was expecting the comprehensive pictures of frescoes & artwork. What I wasn't expecting was the great write-ups on select key artwork pieces and extra historical background of the various churches and museums. This complemented my other history references I'm reading/watching in preparation for a vacation to Italy. It's a BIG book - so be prepared to spend some quality time with it.
