From the Jacket: No other history of art book shows the story of Western art unfolding like this. Essential History of Art is truly innovative in its approach as it allows the reader to see the development of art over the last two thousand years, chronologically within specific artistic movements. In addition the book provides accessible text detailing the significance of the featured artists and images, and can be used as a valued source book of some of the most famous images in Western art.
This book is the work of four authors who have considerable experience and knowledge of the art world. Kirston Bradbury, Antonia Cunningham, Lucinda Hawksley and Laura Payne have written extensively on then-specialist subjects and have each contributed to titles in the Essential Art series."
