The Tang dynasty (AD 618-907) is known as China's golden age, celebrated for its enlightened government, openness to outside influences, and varied and magnificent works of art. This beautifully-illustrated book brings together in one volume the dynasty's most important artistic accomplishments. A sketch of the era's political and social history is followed by chapters illustrating the development of ceramics, the production of gold and silver, Tang painting and sculpture, and religious and funerary art.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Informative, compact, but lacks images,
By A Customer
This review is from: Arts of the Tang Court (Images of Asia) (Hardcover)
This book is very useful if you want a brief description of the Tang dynasty and its impact on Tang art. There are pictures, but very few. It is surprising how small the book is. Nevertheless, it is a good starting point if you are researching the subject.
