If you think art history is boring and academic, open this book and you'll find yourself mistaken! Renowned Belgian art historian Matthijs van Mierlo takes readers on a captivating journey to discover the terrifyingly grotesque faces in world masterpieces and discover their intriguing stories. In the works of Fragonard, Raphael, Vermeer, Van Gogh, and Frida Kahlo, the author lifts the veil of mystery: why eccentric, and sometimes downright strange, faces ended up on the most celebrated canvases of these and other artists. This is the book that will wittily and without pathos reveal stories about religion, love, vanity, and one very confused unicorn.
