Summary: Wonderful for experts and beginners alike...
Comment: Having just begun an art history course, I am happy to have been introduced to Erwin Panofsky. This book is wonderful for experts and beginners alike, as it does not assume the reader has any foreknowledge of iconography, but it does not bore the reader who does. The imagery in this book is beautiful, and brings to life painting that may otherwise seem from another time. Wonderful examples throughout. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the underlying symbolism in art.
