100幅畫作，是藝術史，也是社會史。

不仅详细解释了每一幅画的时代背景、画家的创作动机，在适当的时候也说明了画中所描绘的圣经或神话故事，对理解绘画及画家的技巧有极大的帮助。印刷质量上乘，书很有分量。推荐！

本画盲买到以后狂喜的书。画的细节、背后的故事、画家的生活经历都盘点的很清楚！印刷也没得挑！

目前阅读的TASCHEN出版物里最喜欢的一本，既是以画作串联的西方艺术史，也是社会史与文化研究。整本书的编排与解读完胜大学时旁听的西方美术史通选课。（有趣的是达芬奇、毕加索消失，插入了几幅非西方画作作为调剂。）

适合了解了各个时期之后找经典作品的时候看

便宜大碗。配合放大镜使用阅读体验更加。

很棒的一本书，唯一的缺点是字有点小。

Taschen的书就是工艺好！而且这种普及书不牵强也不做作，很适合在家没事看几页，当装饰也好！封面的白眼实在是选得太妙了吧

The couple in van Eyck's painting are undoubtedly rich. This is most evident in their clothing: the woman's outer garment, with its voluminous swathes of material, is trimmed with ermine. The folds at the bottom could only have been arranged so skilfully with the help of a maid, and the train, too, would have needed a second person to carry it when moving above. To walk at all in such a dress presupposed a degree of practice normally only acquired in aristocratic circles.
The man is wearing a sumptuous velvet cloak trimmed or even lined with mink or sable. But the cloak is only calf-length and is slit down the side, allowing movement and activity. The fact that this man dose not belong to the aristocracy is indicated by the wooden clogs in front of him, which were slipped on to avoid havin...

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露

                        非常好的一本名作解读，更准确地说题目中的杰作在这本书中主要为故事画，因此使得细节的解读与背景填充成为可能。以百福作品不仅串联起西方美术史，也是社会史与文化研究的经典案例。阅读时一些过去曾经看过的画作有了新的认识，比如杨·凡·艾柯的名作婚礼，过去一直以为新娘...
