4.0

This book contains a big variety of paintings and painters through a period of time, all focusing the themes of biblical images and ancient Greek-Roman mythology. You'll see an image of the complete painting and then details of it, combined with the story it depictures and what lays in the details. 
The one thing I found a bit sad is that the explainations stay superficial (I would have prefered a dept-analysis but perhapse I need to read another type of book for that..). But the advantage this way, is that there a lot more paitings that can be discussed.

The book tells of the historical proces and growth of Burgundy. It starts in ancient times and then comes closer to our times. The book is written in such an easy way of reading that it pulls you into the story. I only found the beginning a bit confusing since there are so many different characters (with sometimes the same names) but the familytrees at the end of the book, are very helpful if you get lost.
