Reviews

At 13 X 10 inches with 56 double page exact size illustrations as the original painting.This is Phaidon Press ISBN 0714820156it is not a mini.However the text is minimal and to the point.Only one painting " The Garden of Earthly Delights" is dealt with, but if you get two used copies,and commit sacrilege you may be able to create a life sized version on your wall !!! About 7.2 feet X 12.7 feet.Unfortunately the colors are drab.Another option is to buy a poster of the restored version from ee--b-ay or elsewhere.However, If you look at the colors in Hans Belting's newer book ( # ISBN-10: 3791333208# ISBN-13: 978-3791333205 ) printed after the cleaning and restoration, you will see thatthe colors are wonderful by comparison.Depends on your needs. For a chance to SEE every detail, in his most unique painting, this is the one to get, unless you want to spend about $100 which even then won't cover the entire painting.The restoration seems to have been mostly about color; I have only found one tiny figure omitted previously, inthe Prestel press versions. ... Depends on your needs/desires, budget, time etc...His paintings continue to be restored, check out boschprojectd0t0rg, so there is no book as of now 2014, that is 'complete'.
