One Thousand Years of Painting is an easy-to-follow 'map' that will enable readers to follow the itineraries of the illustrations and their various protagonists, and the creation of the works that mark our visual culture. Through a completely novel presentation, based on the meshing of historical development and geographical dynamics, this volume presents around 800 European and American paintings. The various reference sections provide a further 'navigational' aid to guide readers through the history of painting.
