Editorial Reviews

This Fascinating and authoritative survey looks at the history of European art through the rich and varied collection of London's National Gallery. Eminent art critic Edward Mullins examine the styles, schools and key personalities of European art, from the alterpieces and frescoes of Duccio and Giotto to the innovative techniques of the Impressionists. VOLUME 1: From the early Italian Renaissance to Titian and Leonardo we trace the development of Western painting. We are guided through the changing styles from the delicate and symbolic painting of the 13th and 14th centuries to the flowering of Botticelli and the new grasp of perspective that transformed the painting style of Masaccio and Piero della Francesca. Moving to the "Northern Renaissance", we discover the exquisite realism of Van Eyck and Holbein before returning to the Venetian splendour of Bellini, Tintoretto and Titian. Finally, we can enjoy the superb works in the Gallery by the Three giants of the High Renaissance: Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo.
