"It was wonderful! Julian shared his enormous knowledge of the world's best art with a panache that is irresistible."
– Justice Stephen Goudge, Ontario Court of Appeal

This essential companion to all the major European museums and galleries discusses some of the world's greatest paintings from Giotto through to Picasso.
