Summary Michel Nuridsany has chosen one hundred of the world's greatest paintings from all periods and traditions of art. From prehistoric African cave paintings or ancient Chinese calligraphy to the Mona Lisa, and from Mexican wall murals or Persian miniatures to Mondrian's Broadway Boogie Woogie, the multicultural and chronological scope of One Hundred Masterpieces of Painting offers a comprehensive approach to the development of painting over the centuries, as well as a memorable introduction to preeminent artists and their most notable works. The author provides a thorough explanation of each work, situating it in terms of the artist's oeuvre and the important role it played in the evolution of the art of painting. Filled with spectacular reproductions of Japanese prints; Indian paintings of the Grottos of Ajanta; illuminated manuscript from the Book of Kells; Russian icons; and the works of the Great Masters of the Renaissance, the Impressionists, and the pioneers of Modern Art, this is an essential addition to the library of any art lover, and a manageable introduction for new students of art history.
