British Portrait Minitures This book is a review of the images and techniques of miniature painters, limners, from the 1500's to 1900's. I found it to be full of interesting bits of technical information as well historic and antidotal information as well. it has beautiful color images of the miniatures and was very informative for such a slim book. It piqued my interest as an artist and made me want to learn more about the artists represented within and their techniques. | ||
