Themes in Art Explored and Explained
Breaking the mould of other art history books, 'Understanding Paintings' is the first to discuss the development of painting according to its different types, and includes chapters on landscape painting, portraiture, religious painting, still life, history, myth and allegory painting, and abstract art. Each chapter draws together recurrent subjects and themes, such as self-portrait and the seascape, to help you to appreciate the variety of approaches taken across different countries and many centuries.
