This sounds like a book I need; I’m usually a bit lost when it comes to understanding paintings.

I'm enjoying it. I read 2 essays a day, first thing in the morning, and it's a fun way to start my day. I've learned a lot. I am sometimes frustrated by the paintings they don't include, but it's still been an entertaining project. And it certainly helped me understand in a new way "the Arnolfini Marriage," which is a painting that has puzzled me ever since I first saw it!
