This book serves as a catalogue to the retrospective exhibition held by the Royal Academy in London marking the centenary of Frederic Leighton's death. All 150 works in the show are included, with additional illustrations that reveal his working methods.
A beautiful book, in excellent condition. I presented it as a gift and the recipient could not have been happier. All of the artist's best work was included in gorgeous detail.
Worth the money!

A well-presented book; and most interesting details of the artist's life an times. Slight disappointment in the plates - not all in colour and not full-page size. It is however, an extensive look at the artist and his work, I believe worth owning if you are interested in the genre. Not so interested myself in the sculpture side of his work and the small black and white photos of same do not show from all angles, but in general a good purchase.
