Great, comprehensive overview
The one art book everyone should own. Good overview of art history that touches on major and minor movements throughout time.

Gorgeous book
Really impressed with this book. I have recently taken up drawing again after finishing work, and as well as creating, I wanted to learn a little bit about other painters, and a bit of art history. I've found this book really well produced. Its a beautiful book to flip through, amazingly detailed full colour photos of paintings, and lots of useful information. I tend to just dip in and out rather than reading it from cover to cover, and its helped improve my inspiration for drawing subjects. Only negative is that some of the photos span two pages, and as its a very thick hardcover book, part of the images are difficult to see in full as they disappear into the spine/crease between pages.

Couldn't recommend more!
The absolute Bible of art history fundamentals. For a layman like me, this has taken my art appreciation to the next level. Free from unexplained Jargon and unnecessary frills, this comprehensive book guides you through the major movements in art history without being condescending. It has helped me to discover what I like why I like it, and what to look out for. Physically it's a good quality book that also looks pretty on a coffee table. 100% recommend. Best purchase in a long time.
