Reviews

[Niccolò Raimondo]

Opuscolo ricevuto in regalo. Si tratta di una raccolta di alcuni dei più importanti dipinti che hanno come protagonista il paesaggio. Le schede relative ad ogni dipinto non entrano proprio nel dettaglio però si rivelano comunque utili per comprendere la genesi di queste opere.

[Peter Lipták]

Veľmi dobre spracované a informatívne.

[Riccardo]

Il solito, magistrale Wolf. Qui ancora più felice, non solo per la selezione delle opere (tra note e meno note), ma per la forza espressiva con cui riesce a penetrarle in pochi paragrafi di testo.
