alexandraidonea's review against another edition
4.0
This was an enjoyable read but repetitive, probably my least favourite thing in a book other than a blatant lack of editing. Morris is clearly not an art historian, which she does discuss, but it's odd that she has received so much praise for her writing when I find it just above mediocre. On the other hand, I am now enraptured by Carpaccio and would love to get a full-sized - or oversized - book with reproductions of his work.
