Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

In this eye-opening study, British art historian Matthew Collings clears the dust off the Old Masters, revealing just how original and subversive they really were in their own lifetimes. The key figures he has chosen are Titian, Rubens, Velásquez, and Hogarth. Appreciating it takes a little patience and some art historical context, and Collings does a fine job aiding the would-be aesthete's eye and brain.
