<p>This week I&#x27;ve been mainly reading, no. 244. </p><p>Richard Verdi&#x27;s new Thames &amp; Hudson World of Art volume on Velázquez (2023), is great on the art, presenting a chronological discussion of most of the painter&#x27;s works, but much much weaker on the life &amp; organisation of his studio. So, if you want to assess Velázquez oeuvre then this is the book for you, but if you like artists&#x27; biographies then give Verdi&#x27;s well written but tightly focussed volume a miss.</p><p><a href="/tags/art/" rel="tag">#art</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a> @bookstodon <a href="/tags/painting/" rel="tag">#painting</a></p>
