Beautiful reproductions of over 200 masterpieces from classical to contemporary
An accessible text that focuses on appreciating, understanding and enjoying paintings
Appreciation panels to illuminate understanding and interpretation of key themes and motifs
A wealth of cross-references for easy navigation between contrasting and connected works
Divded by theme and genre, then proceeding chronologically to follow the evolution of ideas
Weighty enough to offer a complete course in art appreciation, compact enough to carry as a guide.
