The National Gallery in London houses one of the richest
collections of Western European paintings in the world, ranging
from the 13th to the 20th century. In this beautiful book, one
hundred of the greatest works from the collection, each by a
different artist, are presented in chronological order, and
accompanied by a lively, informative text and full-page color
reproductions. From the earliest-a remnant of an Italian altarpiece
dating from around 1265-to the most recent-Paul Cezanne's great
Bathers, of about 1894-1905-each painting has been carefully chosen
for the unique significance it holds; whether representing a
particular artist, place or time, or simply for its beauty and the
pleasure it provides to the viewer. The painters featured here
include some of the most famous names in European art-Duccio,
Giotto, Durer, Holbein, van Eyck, Botticelli, Leonardo,
Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Rubens, Rembrandt, El Greco,
Velazquez, Zurbaran, Goya, Caravaggio, Claude, Poussin, Hogarth,
Gainsborough, Reynolds, Constable, Turner, Courbet, Manet, Monet,
Renoir, Degas, Rousseau, and Van Gogh-and some of the most iconic
paintings in the world-The Wilton Diptych, The Arnolfini Portrait,
The Ambassadors, and Sunflowers. These selected highlights
introduce some of the most inspiring paintings ever made. The
reader can dip in to explore individual paintings, or read from
cover to cover for a full survey. Published by the National Gallery
