The delicate reproductions are exquisite and fulsome, and Van Cleave's short bios of each of the great draughtsman are extremely cogent and lively.

This is an exquisite book of thumbnail biographies and drawings of some of the best-known Renaissance masters, but also many of the lesser known. The drawings are arresting for their beauty.
