dashadashahi's review against another edition
5.0
As someone who knows very little about art history, especially early Medieval art, I found this book helpful and interesting. The glossy pictures are beautiful and keep the reader engaged, leaving little to the imagination and consistently referring back to techniques or concepts reflected on previous pages with a simple reference system. I appreciate the variety of art included, rather than just paintings, it includes jewelry, clothing, furniture, architecture, and even dinnerware. As such, I find it comprehensive and informative!

An interesting, accessible book, but as I was using it for research and revision I did notice quite a few errors in the index, either giving page numbers a few pages off from where something was mentioned, or even omitting some pages with information about an indexed subject... just a little annoying!
