Description
This richly illustrated book takes readers on a visual journey through the uplifting power of art. It introduces the work of more than 700 artists and presents 2,500 artworks, including the most important, famous and influential examples from particular movements, periods and artists, alongside technical details and other noteworthy information. Tracing the development of major art movements from prehistoric cave painting to exceptional masterpieces, it explores the inspirations and influences behind them, including new pigments, archaeological discoveries, unconventional patrons and major social and political events. The French Revolution inspired both Neoclassical and Romantic painters, the invention of printing intensified the exchange of ideas during the Renaissance, and the spread of railways opened new locations to Impressionist artists. Richly illustrated timelines clarify each movement, while key works are connected with artists’ lives and contemporary events to tell the story of painting in its entirety. The contents are in Czech.
