Covers a wide range of paintings within its genre. The text is just a couple of simple paragraphs at the beginning repeated in different European languages (i.e English, French, German, Italian etc ). The rest is pictures. The pictures are printed large but occasionally some have a terrible yellow-green cast to them. In general the reproductions of the artworks look a bit dated. Paintings in this genre are so hard to find in books that are affordable though, that at the reduced price paid here, it is fantastic value. Overall it is an obvious buy for anyone interested in neo-classical, romantic, or orientalist paintings. One thing though, is that for the price I was expecting a fairly small book. It’s actually quite large, almost a coffee table book. This only adds to its incredible value for money.
