Book Reviews of The Gallery of Maps in the Vatican
Book Review: An Amazing Renaissance View of Italy
Summary: 5 Stars
Although this book does not have detailed views of every map in the Gallery of Maps, it gives the reader the opportunity to study the 40 frescoes in a way not possible when visiting the Vatican. (Most tour groups are rushed through the hall on the way to the Sistene Chapel.) The color plates are true to the vibrant originals and the essays accompanying each map help the reader to understand the iconography. Anyone who loves cartography or European history, will want this book on their shelf.
