“Since I was a student at the University of Ghent I have gone back to this book many, many times. At around 900 pages, the book is like an encyclopaedia. Aside from the text itself, it has great further references for anyone wanting to learn more or for further research. The most striking thing for me about this groundbreaking work of art history is not only its content, but also the way it is organised. The presentation is an entirely original way of creating a book and an experience for the reader.” Read more...
