This week’s competition prize is Matisse: The Chapel at Vence by Marie Thérèse Pulvenis de Séligny (Royal Academy Publications, £60)

Matisse considered the Chapel of the Rosary in Vence as the culmination of his working life: ‘I regard it as my masterpiece.’ Matisse: The Chapel at Vence describes how he came to design and plan every element of a chapel in his last years, and examines those elements in detail, exploring his inspiration and the motivation behind each one, and placing the work in the larger context of the role of an artist and his legacy. Illustrated with specially commissioned photography that captures the chapel exactly as Matisse envisaged it, this book offers an intimate view of a unique spiritual space.

For your chance to win simply answer the following question and submit your details below before midday on 13 December 2013.
