This incredible retrospective takes a sweeping look at the origins, historical influences and growth of art in the Western world, all the way from ancient cave paintings to video art, taking in Egyptian sculpture, Gothic architecture, Romanticism, Surrealism and many more schools and styles along the way.
Sumptuously illustrated, with reproductions of the most definitive examples of each era, and including 'showcases' which highlight the meaning behind the art, Art of the Western World is a brilliantly detailed summary for anyone interested in art or art history.
