Reviews

The joy and vivid expression of Woodford's analyses of key pieces is delightful to read and the pace and style captivate the reader. -- Jack Martin Balcer, Religious Studies Review Susan Woodford is a good communicator, careful to explain terms and concepts that could be baffling, sympathetic and lively in her descriptions and commentary and, above all, accurate. -- Sir John Boardman, British Book News Informative and insightful . a supremely enjoyable guided tour around these wonderful works of art, and . a rewarding education in how to see them for ourselves. -- James Morwood, Wadham College, Oxford, UK
