The Annotated Mona Lisa is a great introduction to art history!
As good as I can be at certain things, I have to admit that I have absolutely no artistic talent. It’s not just that I am mediocre, I am terrible at it! I can’t dance, I can’t sing, I can’t paint, I can’t play an instrument, I can’t sculpt and my handwriting is illegible.
As I do appreciate art, despite not knowing anything about it, I felt I needed a primer to it. The Annotated Mona Lisa clearly met that need. It’s easy to read, organized chronologically and full of engaging anecdotes.

hey fabrice,
It is funny you talk about that book, i bought it one month ago and it changed the way i am conceiving art 🙂 but i am still far from taking over the art expert position at MoMA
