Review:

This neat little book gives you enough practical knowledge of European art history to make your trip to the great museums and churches a lot more enjoyable. It connects yesterday's Europe with today's sights -- art, museums, buildings, and people. An essential tool for any traveler's backpack or suitcase.

Review:

...humorous and historical perspective covering a mere 5,000 years of Western civilization. -- The Boston Globe
