Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visiting the Vatican Museums is a truly unique experience. It is such an amazing place with such an abundance of artwork. Some of the most famous pieces of art in the world can be found there. Be amazed by the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo and enjoy the beautiful frescos of Raphael. There are statues from Roman times, paintings from artists as different as Giotto, Leonardo and Caravaggio and so much more. In fact, the museums are enormous. It can be quite overwhelming. What's worse, the museums were never built as museums. The artworks are displayed in the rooms and halls that were once used by the Pope and his court. This is why most of the museum is one direction only. Moreover, mass tourism has caused the amount of visitors to the museums to spike in recent years. Many people stand in line for hours outside, just to be able to visit the museums. In this guidebook, I will try to show you the best way to visit the museums and I will tell you all the stories and details about the most important works in the museums. In addition, I'll give you essential tips for visiting the museums. I've worked for many years as a guide inside the museums. This is truly a special place. I have put all that I have learned in these years in this book. I hope it will help to make your visit to the museums an unforgettable experience.

Book excerpt: Mixed from egg whites and vegetable tints, water and soot, oils and rare minerals and applied to bone, wood, metal and canvas, the plastic and expressive properties of paint have stirred artists and their admirers throughout history. The holdings of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston have grown into a formidable appraisal of one of humankind's oldest and most diverse forms of artistic expression--from its first acquisition, Washington Allston's "Elijah in the Desert" (1818), to recently acquired works by Edgar Degas, Georgia O'Keeffe and Takashi Murakami--and now constitutes one of America's largest permanent collections. The first version of Masterpieces has long been a favorite among museum-goers and art lovers. This new edition expands on the scope of the old, adding new acquisitions and featuring 150 master works by artists from Asia, Europe and the Americas--from delicate Song-dynasty handscrolls to jewel-like images of medieval piety, scenes of mythic drama, austere still lifes, sensitive portraits, grand landscapes and jarring Modern visions. Featuring artists such as Rembrandt, El Greco, Copley, Monet, Sargent and Picasso, anonymous masters of medieval Europe and Asia and living artists of uncompromising vision such as Gerhard Richter and David Hockney, this book is a celebration of the possibilities of paint.
