The Paintings That Revolutionized Art

This is a beautifully done book. Lovely explanations with interesting bits of information and a great coffee table book

I liked this book so much I bought it even though it's at the library.

Llegó antes de tiempo, lo ví en un museo y estaba al menos 35% más caro. Además que te ahorras estarlo cargando mientras viajas, fue un regalo y le encantó.

I stumbled on this book in the library and knew immediately I had to own my own copy. It is a glorious book with a varied choice of chronologically arranged artworks. Of course, it is a subjective choice by the author but is a joy to hold, look at and read. There is a full description of each paining, a comment by a person of note and a biography of the artist. Additionally, the book contains useful and essential glossaries of artistic terms linked to the relevant work, and artistic movements. It is so pleasurable, accessible and readable; an ideal book for a beginner like myself or anyone who wants to better understand paintings.

Using it for an art history/art appreciation class. Love it.

Expected to be more specific. Anyway is really interesting, I have discovered several new art masterpieces with this book .
