Reaction to Ryan
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
In opposition to "Ryan" who gave this fasinating study of Holbein a single star simply because of his inability to write a college (high school?) paper, I find that O. Batschmann has managed to balance a scholarly approach with a lively style. In particular, check out the chapter on portraiture and mortality. Great stuff. Sorry about only getting a 50, Ryan. In all seriousness, Ryan's review brings up the subject of trusting this type of rating system in general.
