Breaking the mould of other art history books, this is the first to discuss the development of painting according to its different genres. It brings together over 500 paintings from the past 800 years, and includes chapters on landscape painting, portraiture, religious painting, still life, history, myth and allegory painting, and abstract art.
The authoritative and accessible text is complemented throughout by carefully selected images that fully reveal the power and beauty of art. Together, they enable those with no prior knowledge to grasp the meaning and context of hundreds of well-known and significant works.
