Great Artists: A Treasury of Paintings by the Masters by Melvyn Bragg - Large Hardcover

GREAT ARTISTS is a beautifully illustrated, easy to read reference book that takes a look at some of the most popular artists from the 15th to the 19th century - from Leonardo da Vinci to Rubens, Blake, Constable and Renoir - not only examining the basic chronology of their lives, but also the political and social history of the time, and its impact on each of the artist's life and work. The painters are from four great schools of art: the Renaissance, 17th century Dutch and Flemish painting; the 19th century Romantics and the Impressionists and their contemporaries.
