Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

The secrets of the masterpieces revealed: does Van Eyck's Arnolfini Marriage portray a secret sadness? What political purpose did Rubens' fat, rosy models serve? And did Seurat's pointillist experiment really work? This book showcases, in full colour, the works of one hundred painters who represent eight centuries of the European tradition - from Giotto in the 13th century to Hockney in the 21st. Arranged alphabetically for easy reference, each artist occupies a double-page spread that contains a selection of pictures, accessible text and a biographical timeline. This invaluable handbook allows readers to check facts, browse pictures and explore how great artists like Breughel, Constable and Picasso first captured our admiration, and why they remain influential. A must-have collection for general readers, art students and practitioners alike.
