لا يختصر هذا الكتاب الجيد على الموضوعات الفنية بل يمتد في تناوله الطموح الى التاريخ والجغرافيا والفلسفة والحب والجمال في اسلوب شيق أقرب الى الثرثرة مدعوم بمجموعة جميلة من اللوح الفنية ، شكرا للمؤلف وشكرا للمنتدى.

بين كل القاتنات التي أبرز هذا الكتاب الفنى لوحات فنية لها اعتقد ان اكثرهن اثارة هي الليدي هاميلتون ، فهل هذا انعكاس لحقيقة جاذبيتها الانثوية أم لعشق الفنان رومني لها وبراعته الفنية؟

It is a pity that Islamic civilization took such a negative attitude towards paintings and sculptures. We would have gained so much to see depictions of famous battles, famous places such as the city of Baghdad in its hayday and some of the great leaders who helped shape world history.

It is a good trial by Mr. Gamal Kotb who is a painter to introduce to the Arabic speaking readers a very narrow aspect of the European culture during the last centuries (Nevertheless the book contains few other characters). The book is focusing on the role played by known women in European history during periods of time. This book should add to the normal readers knowledge, an interesting part of history and art because of the book’s rich information and the easy handling of the events. I hope that the readers of the book should not misunderstand the European way of life as it is not only sex that is the main contributor to great productivity or vice versa, but rather hard work (though sex if any is an important component) is the main player. Indeed, the muses are available since the early history till recent time without mentioning specific names because we can’t count them. The book could be better printed and published since it is more or less loose leafs and is not in a durable beautiful format as similar books published elsewhere.
