everything you ever wanted to know about the artiste himself. Fascinating stuff, full of corrupt popes, political intrigue, and neurotic artists. Still, this author needs to take a page from the Da Vinci Code and make it a little easier to read. Reading this book is kind of like wading through mud, but I'm gonna feel so good once i finish the 600 pages. everything you ever wanted to know about the artiste himself.

I feel slightly uncultured by giving this book two stars, but I honestly struggle bussed my way through the whole thing. I've never taken an art history class and since we're going to heart of renaissance art, I figured I'd better know my stuff before attempting to make intelligent observations at art galleries. Other than that, this book is pretty bland. I feel slightly uncultured by giving this book two stars, but I honestly struggle bussed my way through the whole thing.
