Présentation de l'éditeur: This fascinating book examines more than 50 extraordinary artists who have established or redefined movements and traditions, from Giotto and the beginnings of naturalism to the elegant realism of Van Dyck; from Monet's Impressionist watercolours to Warhol's bold pop art.

Key works are examined in detail, considering defining characteristics and lasting impact on future artists. A selection of 'family trees' reveal connections between artists of different centuries and movements.
