I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher
In Making A Masterpiece the author delivers exactly what she promises, it's the story of different iconic artworks and what made them standout and become so famous and well known. To that end we are taken on a journey through the artist's career, the situations around the creation of the work and what events propeled the work into recognition. The author also shows the impact that these masterpieces have had on the collective consciousness and other works they have inspired.
I enjoyed this book, it was easy to read and understand. I learned a lot of facts I didn't know about these paintings that I have seen over and over again. While I read this as a digital ARC I still think that the formatting of the book is very nice, I personally liked the close ups to the artworks, and I would love to own it in print.
