Arranged alphabetically by country, with introductory essays on each country`s art and biographical index of over 600 major painters and sculptors, the book covers the whole range of Western art from the Early Renaissance to the present day.The new generation of art galleries, from Tate Modern to the Guggenheim Bilbao, is fully discussed, while special attention is given to particular treasures, such as the Venetian scuole, Titians in the Prado, or Pre-Raphaelite paintings in England. Among more that 200 colour illustrations are many unexpected pictures, tempting the reader to seek out less familiar collections.
