Play two classic games – "Go Fish" and "Concentration" — with playing cards that bring 30 great works of art to life. Then read fascinating facts about Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Fra Angelico and Raphael in the accompanying full color art book.

Each playing card has a two-page spread in the companion book where you'll learn the story behind the art and find the answers to such questions as:

  • Who punched "the divine Michelangelo" in the nose?
  • Why did Leonardo da Vinci write backwords?
  • Who painted his most annoying critic as the Devil on the wall of the pope's chapel?
  • Which paints were made from beetles, burnt bones and precious jewels?
