Title: SIZE Does Matter
Review: Having expected to receive a book covering most of Fra Angelico's works I was quite satisfied as the book delivers its promise in this respect.The drawback is too SMALL size of many of the paintings. Using a magnifying glass to see details results in seeing images broken into printing dots that are pretty BIG. This way one has an impression of seeing paintings without really seeing them as they break down upon a closer look. This is an interesting phenomena in itself but it's decreasing the book's value as of a document. Of course this doesn't apply to all reproductions.Another matter is color quality, although this complaint could apply to the majority of art books.Suggestion:As for this reviewer art books published by an Italian house "Electa" reproduce colors to such a standard, other publisher should blush. "Electa" had published a book containing images from San Marco, that was also published in English. If you can put your paws on that one, you'll get my point, I hope.
