Art

Gorgeously illustrated book covering tons of art history. Much more than just a coffee table book. I'll likely buy the others in the series. Great read and highly recommend.

I just received this book and I’m absolutely thrilled. The illustrations are breathtaking — every page is a visual feast. The scope is impressive: from ancient cave paintings to modern art movements, the book delivers a rich, beautifully organized overview of world art history. The layout and print quality are top-notch — crisp images, clean typography, easy to navigate. Even as someone with only basic art knowledge, I find it accessible and deeply engaging; and I’m sure experts would appreciate the breadth of coverage too. A special note for the seller: your shipping was fast, packaging secure, and book arrived in perfect condition. Great service. Highly recommend this volume — perfect for anyone who loves art, collects books, or wants a reliable, comprehensive reference for decades to come.

A lovely beautiful coffee-table book taking the reader through the history of art. Looks great in my livingroom.

This is a very interesting book especially if you want to know more about art history. There are many examples of different genres of art from prehistoric to Renaissance to Impressionism and beyond. I appreciate that art from multiple cultures is included.

Love this book! Heavy but worth it!

Best overall visual art history book there is. Basically is the history of visual art from beginning of time up to modern era. Excellent quality photos, and for the more famous (or large) paintings, there are usually a few pages dedicated to breaking it down in smaller photos of each section with an analysis of that part, which is helpful for larger paintings. Mainly paintings, however there are several bits of pottery, sculptures, etc. And the best part is the book follows a historical timeline, from start to now, broken into sections of the style/eras/period, so it's easy to find "Italian Renaissance" or "Impressionism" with the flick of a page. If you were to own one book that that summarizes visual art history, touching base on most of each era with prime examples, this is the one to own. 600 pages of pure gold.

This book is perfect for a coffee table, as it adds colour and design to it Is contents are also interesting and there are detailed explanations and great pictures of the most relevant art pieces and movements

Like other DK books, the printing is great, on glossy pages. I was hoping for a bit more though. This is very, very basic with some scattered insights that do elevate what are rudimentary introductions to artists and genres. Blurbs are maybe 3/4 of a page. To get more out of this, you need to pair it with apps like Google Arts & Culture or Wikipedia. Frankly you also need a magnifying glass. It does look erudite and the cover design is modern.

Extensive information, this book has lot of information in the subject, greatly composed, excellently explained the topic with variety of example and supporting evidence, i will highly suggest you to get this book if you wan to know the whole history and evolution of art through time

The book cover is stunning. The content is very informative and easy to navigate through. It covers pretty much everything I learned in art school and more. Perfect for people who want to broaden their art knowledge.

Worth every penny

For me personally, this book is a personal book gallery. I can recommend it as a gift.
