This beautiful book brings you the very best of art throughout
history - using a truly innovative timeline-led approach. Savour
iconic paintings such as Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper and
Monet's Waterlilies, and discover less well-known artists, styles,
and movements the world over - from Indigenous Australian art to
the works of Ming-era China. And explore recurring themes, such as
love and religion, and important genres from Romanesque to
Conceptual art, along the way. Timelines of Art provides detailed
analysis of the works of key artists, showing details of their
technique - such as Leonardo's use of light and shade. It tells the
story of avant-garde works like Manet's Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe
(Lunch on the Grass), which scandalised society, and it traces how
certain artists, genres or movements informed the works of others -
showing how the Impressionists were inspired by Gustave Courbet,
for example, or how Van Gogh was influenced by Japanese prints.
Comprehensive, accessible, and lavishly illustrated throughout,
Timelines of Art is an essential guide to the pantheon of world
art, so dive straight into discover: - An overview of each
movement, including the social and cultural background of the
period, grounds the works of art in the spirit of their times. -
Turning-point paintings that triggered or epitomised each artistic
movement are identified and explained, against a backdrop of
influences - the technical advances, admired techniques of an
earlier artist, and changes in society that enabled new directions
in art. - Glossary of technical terms and comprehensive index help
make this an indispensable work of reference for any art-lover.
Timelines of Art is the perfect art history book for students of
art and/or history, proving ideal for families, schools and
libraries and doubling up as a great gift for the art lover in your
life.
