Summary: Booklist review:
Review: Art historian Tim Marlow comfortably hosts this 14-part introduction to the world's most acclaimed artists. In the sampled, Leonardo, Marlow travels to Florence and Milan to trace the career of painter and inventor Leonardo da Vinci. Carefully analyzing The Annunciation, the host contrasts flaws in perspective with the painting's precise natural details. The Last Supper, Mona Lisa, and St. John the Baptist are similarly examined for composition, painting techniques, and use of light. Da Vinci's work as mapmaker, anatomist, and military planner are also discussed, as are controversies surrounding his life. Nice location footage and insightful commentary stand out in these solid introductions for high-school and public library collections. Other series titles similarly profile El Greco, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and others.

Review: It would be helpful if sets/collections of this type gave a listing of the "great artists" that are profiled in the DVD. There are many times that I'm interested in a DVD and then find no description of the contents. Please, at least include a listing of content for collections such as this. I did not buy this set because I have no idea of the contents.
Thank you.
