| Review: “For the great Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), drawing was a fundamental activity. In Rubens’s large Antwerp studio, drawings were made for the creation of new paintings; collaborators used them to assist the master on these paintings; and they served as instructional material for pupils. The drawings were guarded from the outside world because they were considered a kind of studio secret; the competition could exploit designs for new compositions if they were released prematurely. How precious Rubens considered his drawings is evident from his testament, which stipulated that they should be passed on to any of his sons or sons-in-law who chose to be a painter; only when it was clear, once all his children were grown, that none would become an artist or marry one could the drawings be dispersed.” “This volume presents, in full-color reproductions, more than one hundred of the finest and most representative of Rubens’s drawings, ranging from delightful renderings of children and elegant portraits of noblemen and women to vigorous animal studies and beautiful landscapes.
Review: Kerry Downes was one of my professors at Reading University and was one of the most highly regarded art historians in the world. Although most of his work was specific to British architecture (Hawksmoor, Vanbrugh, Wren) he had a deep affection for the work of Rubens. The result was this highly accessible and deeply scholarly book on the Flemish master. Solidly informative this book is an absolute must for any art historian, or anyone with an interest in Baroque art.

| Time Review: Legends is an art book displaying noted celebrities from the past century. It is a fun read, but more of a coffee table book. The photographs are good, taking from nearly a full page to even double page spreads, but it is the captions that go with them that had the most appeal to me. Some photos are themselves famous, while others show well-known people in their not so-well-known lives. The captions are comments about the subject, often by their peers but occasionally by themselves. Not only does this give you a new insight to the person photographed, but to the speaker as well.

Review: E. A. Wallis Budge’s book on the Egyptian King Tutankhamen was written in 1923, only a year after Howard Carter’s discovery of the tomb. The book goes over the history of, not only Tutankhamen, but also of the religion of ancient Egypt, being at this time Amenism and Atenism. A good portion of the book also discusses the king Aakhunaten (his spelling), otherwise known as Amenhetop IV. Amenhetop being the previous name at the time of inauguration in which the reigning religion was Amenism (thus tutenkhAMEN, and AMENhetop), which was polytheistic. Once gaining his revelation that the Sun god Ra is the one and the all mighty, he changed his name to Akhenaten, changing the religion to Atenism (thus AkhenATEN). Many theologists, historians and anthropologists have argued that Atenism is indeed the first monotheistic religion in history which would predate Judaism. Many of Budge’s translations of hieroglyphics into the English language has been argued and disputed times over, yet his books still makes for a good read.
