Synopsis

This book chronicles the history of painting, from the early cave art of Egypt to the flourishing of the Renaissance. The author traces the development of painting as it progressed from a symbolic, hieroglyphic artform to an expressive and representational one. The book discusses the major innovative periods from ancient Greek painting to the rebirth of painting in Italy and the work of masters like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. It also delves into the influence of religion and government on the development of art. The book offers insights into the changing styles and techniques of painting over time, as well as the role of patronage and the complex relationship between artist and society.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
