How to Understand Western Paintings: Classic Masterpieces of Baroque Masters

Baroque art. The wandering young and dangerous Caravaggio, Rubens who gained both fame and fortune, Rembrandt who had few children, Velazquez who was overworked, Anthony who was troubled by illness, and Vermeer who was overwhelmed. I like the stone bridge scenery and small streets.

This book is really good! It introduced many classic masterpieces of Baroque masters and gave me a deeper understanding of Western painting. The content of the book is very comprehensive, and the appreciation method is also very unique, which makes people benefit a lot. However, I kind of hate some of the painters in the book, like Caravaggio, whose paintings always make me feel eerie. However, this also shows that his painting style is unique, doesn't it? Overall, this is a book worth reading.
