The Paintings That Revolutionized Art

I bought this for my Mum who is house bound now due to health reasons. She is loving the book, she said it has given her the chance to experience the art she can longer see as she can't go to museums. She has loved reading through the detailed descriptions and said it includes many artworks she has ever seen before.

My partner reads a page a day before sleep!

Just the right amount of information to keep me interested and reading on.

I took a lot of pleasure working my way through the paintings in this book considered to be 'The Paintings That Revolutionized Art". The prints are of good quality and the explanatry notes are informative. All such lists are of course subjective and I am no art historian but I was both surprised and disappointed that a painting by Constable was not included From what I have summized he revolutionised landscape painting. He also happens to be one of my favourite artists.

Lovely book

Magnificent book

Quality book with nice glossy .pages. Loads of famous artworks with greatly informative write ups. Highly recommend. Good price too

I stumbled on this book in the library and knew immediately I had to own my own copy. It is a glorious book with a varied choice of chronologically arranged artworks. Of course, it is a subjective choice by the author but is a joy to hold, look at and read. There is a full description of each paining, a comment by a person of note and a biography of the artist. Additionally, the book contains useful and essential glossaries of artistic terms linked to the relevant work, and artistic movements. It is so pleasurable, accessible and readable; an ideal book for a beginner like myself or anyone who wants to better understand paintings.

I liked this book so much I bought it even though it's at the library.

Llegó antes de tiempo, lo ví en un museo y estaba al menos 35% más caro. Además que te ahorras estarlo cargando mientras viajas, fue un regalo y le encantó.

This is a beautifully done book. Lovely explanations with interesting bits of information and a great coffee table book

Using it for an art history/art appreciation class. Love it.

Expected to be more specific. Anyway is really interesting, I have discovered several new art masterpieces with this book .
