Abstract:
"Great paintings cannot be fully understood in a single encounter... [This book] spotlights the finer points a quick glance will almost certainly fail to reveal. These include subtle internal details, such as hidden symbols. Expert commentary reveals the technical tricks employed by the artist to achieve particular effects... and also looks at the themes and external and personal factors influencing the creation of an artwork..."--Book jacket.
