<p>This week I've been mainly reading, no. 244. </p><p>Richard Verdi's new Thames & Hudson World of Art volume on Velázquez (2023), is great on the art, presenting a chronological discussion of most of the painter's works, but much much weaker on the life & organisation of his studio. So, if you want to assess Velázquez oeuvre then this is the book for you, but if you like artists' biographies then give Verdi'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>
