Many images too small though. *by J***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 25, 2007* I bought this book based on the reviews here, I thought the book was pretty good.My main problem was with the size of the images. Someone here said most images are one to a page, or two to a page... and that the smallest images are an inch by an inch.I'd expected all the images to be a lot bigger. Many of the images, maybe even 25% - 50% weren't much bigger than an inch by an inch. This is a real problem if you are looking at the book as an artist and want to see how the brushstrokes were made a little bit etc. at least on some of them. But the images were too small for this, and no detail views were shown (except a very smalll number at the start of each section).I found it really hard to look at all the small images and take in the painting properly too. Many were just too small for me.I'd rather have had less white space and 30% bigger images, this could easily have been done without sacrificing much text or design quality. (The cover art was awful too!)I also bought '1000 Masterpieces of European Painting: From 1300 to 1850' at the same time and this book was so much better at having larger images and showing details than this book (despite the book being far SMALLER and having far less pages than this one too!). It had a nicer feel too, the arrangement of the images and text was far less uniform than in this book and therefore much more interesting. It did have less white space but was actually far more elegant despite this.The selection of images seemed very good though (despite the bad graphic design of the book) and it was well-made. It weights an absolute TON but then it would! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars He loved it. We spend time in Europe every year *by T***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 2, 2016* I bought a copy of this at an art museum and then bought a second copy on Amazon for my brother for Christmas. He loved it. We spend time in Europe every year. What a great way to plan museum-going to include all the "must see" art work. This is obviously the author's choice of "must see" and I don't always agree with his choices but the book contains enough of the art that should be on everyone's list that it is a worthy companion. I plan to make a list every time I travel to make sure I don't miss an opportunity to see some of these paintings. It's a great way to see what pieces of art are in which cities and which museums ...not always easy to do. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A very worthwhile reference book *by J***5 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 16, 2018* A beautiful overview what is considered the best/most important Western art (Europe, North America, some South America) in an easy to reference format. The book has a postcard sized color photo of the object on each page with a descriptive and interpretive essay about it. It's too big or me to to read and remember but it's an outstanding reference and pleasant browse on a rainy afternoon. My "used" copy was in excellent condition. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/15006980-1001-paintings-you-must-see-before-you-die-revised-updated](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/15006980-1001-paintings-you-must-see-before-you-die-revised-updated) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
