Title: Too much history - too little story
Review: The book is one very long art history lesson. A career's worth of history. Worthy of a PhD thesis. I just wanted a good read but the pedantic writer kept adding more and more and more history. As a consequence, the book plodded along like an overburdened carthorse. Eventually, it freed itself of the cart and galloped thankfully to the finish. Don't bother to read the book. Just visit an art museum and enjoy a Bruegel exhibit.
