This is a lush collection of fantasy art from 16 artists. It's a large hardcover at 200 pages. The titles and butterflies on the cover are embossed.

There's not a very wide spectrum of fantasy art subjects. Most of the subjects are actually faeries. You'll see a lot of wings, female-form inspired characters and just a few others like old wizards. It's more of a fantasy faeries art collection.

Many of the paintings are created with traditional medium. The colours are very rich and lively, backgrounds are intricate. The quality of work is great for the most part, some are alright. Every artist comes with a one-page background.

If you're into faeries art, this would be a good purchase.

The list of artists are:

Kinuko Y. Craft
Linda Ravenscroft
Sara Butcher
Priscilla Hernandez
Sue Miller
John Arthur
Myrea Pettit
Josephine Wall
Jody Bergsma
Christine Von Lossberg
Jasmine Becket-Griffith
Molly Harrison
Vicki Visconti-Tilley
Tom Cross
Sherri Baldy
Sheila Wolk

This book is absolutely beautiful! It has tons of beautiful art and it is seriously healing and calming to the mind just looking at the artwork! It is neat knowing that just having this book on my bookshelf is like owning all of these art pieces in one convenient book. I am so glad I own it! Highly recommend to any fantasy art fan or collector!
