The Divine Comedy: The Vision of Dante (Everyman's Library)
from Tuttle Publishing
Price: $9.47

Customer Review:

Long ago, I slogged through a translation of THE INFERNO by a translator I don't recall. It was interesting, but the language felt a bit like the muck in the Third Ring. Then I picked up Ciardi's rendering of THE PURGATORIO, and my eyes opened. Here was a vivid, living presence taking me through... more info

Brunelleschi's Dome: The Story of the Great Cathedral in Florence
from Chatto and Windus

Customer Review:

I very much enjoyed this book for the light reading that it is. The book is not one to be studied, but is quite interesting nonetheless.
The book covers the main difficulties and innovations concerning the great dome in the cathedral in Florence. The project was ambitious in scope and posed... more info

The Sistine Secrets: Michelangelo's Forbidden Messages in the Heart of the Vatican
from HarperOne
Price: $10.78

Customer Review:

This book rocks. I really couldn't put it down; it was absolutely fascinating. I read it after visiting Rome and seeing the Sistine Chapel and it totally added to/changed my perspective... and I am now even more impressed by and interested in Michelangelo's work (and that of other Renaissance... more info

A World Lit Only by Fire: The Medieval Mind and the Renaissance - Portrait of an Age
from Little, Brown and Company
Price: $6.84

Customer Review:

This book is atrocious. It is almost willfully ignorant about its supposed subject matter, and does little more than repeat long-debunked stereotypes about the "dark ages." I have an MA degree in medieval history, and have taught western civ and world history for eight years. Only mentioned to show... more info

Michelangelo and The Pope's Ceiling
from Pimlico
Price: $10.07

Customer Review:

If you learn anything from "Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling" it's that the famed artist didn't paint the Sistine Chapel vault while lying on his back.
(You'll also learn than Michelangelo had bad personal hygiene--"never wash yourself," he would say--and that he sometimes went so long... more info

Master of Shadows: The Secret Diplomatic Career of the Painter Peter Paul Rubens
from Nan A. Talese
Price: $13.10

Customer Review:

If I described this book as a detailed biography of the great Baroque painter, you might wonder whether it could sustain your interest for a book-length read. But then you might miss this highly entertaining and skillfully written book---not only a master painter, serious scholar, and astute... more info

I found this to be a very interesting and informative book. I also like that it is over-sized with large pictures.

Basilica: The Splendor and the Scandal: Building St. Peter's
from Tantor Media
Price: $16.99

Customer Review:

You know the old saying," You can't judge a book by it's cover." Apparently, the Basilica is an enormous example of the old adage. This book is a historical account of the building of one of the most well known structures in the world, St.Peter's Basilica. Before you pooh pooh the idea of reading... more info

Wabi-Sabi: for Artists, Designers, Poets and Philosophers

Wabi-Sabi: for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers
from Imperfect Publishing
Price: $6.00

Customer Review:

Wabi-Sabi is an aesthetic, individual and ethereal. The author recognizes that true Wabi-Sabi is indefinable and that writing about it is not keeping true to that idea. However, his descriptions of meanings and how this concept seems to have developed are delightful and honor the spirit of... more info
