Treasures of the Prado (Tiny Folio) (Tiny Folio, 13)

this little book is a nice introduction to the Prado, or a sweet memory of your visit. nothing more, nothing less. i like to buy these "treasures" before i visit a museum, just to familiarize myself with what i can expect to see there. do not expect any information, analysis or fabulous images.

This was a convenient book to take on my trip to the Prado because of it's size. It was also a very complete tour of the Prado and it is interesting to continue to look at the paintings after the visit.

Treasures of the Prado (Tiny Folio) - Over 270 pictures. Lots of somber ones. Coloring seem a touch darker than I'd like. Gives artist's name, title of painting, date, material and size. No historical background for individual piece. 4 1/4 inches wide by 4 1/2 inches tall x 1 1/16 inch. One piece per page.

This little book is small and compact full of images from the Prado Museum. Quite a few of my favorite artist like Diego Velazquez, Goya, Titian, Rubens and Bosch are all included.The photo images are elegantly put together and they reflect a range of imagery that provides you with a nice historical account of what was being produced during that time. For an artist/accountant like me chronology is important but so are the years the work was reproduced and artist name. The colors are nice but a couple of photographs are just a little dim.This is a great resource that is easy to carry around. Paintings & drawings are well catalogued for great reference and easy access. If you need a portable museum in a small book this is definitely for you.Your Servant, Deremiah, *CPE

The Prado Museum is one of the greatest museums in the world, its holdings are amazing and the minute that you enter there you are overwelmed. I suggest that everybody should visit at least once in a lifetime this institution

Um livro rico de um dos mais importantes acervos de arte do mundo.

tiny wee beautiful little book.

｢Tiny」シリーズで、コンパクトなサイズ（１１ｃｍ×１２ｃｍ程度）がとても重宝する。ハード・カバーで、造本もしっかりしている。背表紙の裏には布が当てられ、ページが剥がれることも今のところない。説明は英文であるが、鑑賞するのに特に支障はない。カラーも綺麗で、選択された絵画も適切でセンスがよい。シリーズのルーブルやオルセーも購入した。

Only problem is that I had under estimated quite how small these "tiny" publications are i.e. only about 11 cm square. Its a great little book but would be fabulous if it were that little bit bigger.

all as expected
