About This Book
Discovering Europe's Great Art
After the great success of her PBS series, Sister Wendy's Odyssey, here
Sister Wendy takes a grand tour of 10 of Europe's great cities and
capitals of art. Her passion for art has led her--with the readers of
this book firmly in tow--to Goya and Velázquez in Madrid; Donatello and
Botticelli in Florence; Caravaggio and Raphael in Rome; Van Gogh,
Rembrandt, and Vermeer in Amsterdam; and Kandinsky and Rubens in St.
Petersburg. She also makes pilgrimages to artworks in Vienna, Berlin,
Paris, Venice, and Antwerp. Sister Wendy offers lucid, compassionate,
and articulate commentaries about each of the cities and their great
masterpieces--primarily paintings, although some sculptures are also
examined. The tour concludes with a brief biographical section outlining
the lives of each of the artists discussed. In the end, Sister Wendy
doesn't set out to tell us which paintings are good and which are bad,
she simply wants to share with us the art that she loves. This is art
appreciation at its finest. --Amazon.com
