Gorgeous book!

I am so pleased with the gorgeous fine art in this whole series of small books (I bought all 3). This one has particularly fine art reproductions. Buyers, just be aware this book series are all rather small books but very well bound. I was a little surprised when I received the first one because I had not noted the book dimensions. But I was so pleased that I went ahead and bought the other 2.

A rapturously enticing work of exquisite artwork

The Art Of The Pen is a lavishly beautiful, full-color reproduction of classical works of calligraphy and miniature painting drawn from the era of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II. These selected pages from the "Mira calligraphiae monumenta" or Model Book of Calligraphy, one of the major manuscripts in the J. Paul Getty Museum collection, The Art Of The Pen is enthusiastically recommended to calligraphy enthusiasts as a rapturously enticing work of exquisite artwork that transcends the test of time.
