"Executed with rare intelligence."—Neil MacGregor, formerly Director of the National Gallery and currently Director of the British Museum, London, World of Interiors "The immensely turnable pages are peppered with bite-size, insightful... Observations."—Apollo "A stunning array of images... of enviable tranquillity and beauty."—The Independent "All wonderfully and subtly different, these images are an inexhaustible source of pleasure and inspiration... Rich and endlessly varied... The human drama of the Annunciation has a universal appeal."—The Universe "This little Phaidon series... has been executed with rare intelligence. The images (well produced) come from all over the world, supreme masterpieces rubbing shoulders with surprising and magnificently chosen obscurities."—Neil McGregor, Director of the British Museum, World of Interiors
