The Geometry of the Last Supper

Pros: I love art and art history and have had the opportunity to see The Last Supper in person, so I wanted to read this book as soon as I saw its cover and title. The geometry of art is something I've never considered, so I enjoyed learning more about it through the example of The Last Supper. Although this book is scholarly, it is also approachable to readers who might not be students of math or art. This is a visually beautiful book, and I loved how it highlighted details of The Last Supper and other pieces of renaissance art.

Cons: This is not a con of the book but more a note about the format--although this book was fine as a digital arc, I don't think it would translate well to Kindle (if that is even a plan). I think it will be a gorgeous book in print.

Thank you to NetGalley and Troubadour for the opportunity to read this book.
