5.0 out of 5 stars This book is huge.
This book is gigantic and heavy and filled to the brim with cool pictures. I'm glad I bought it, because not only can I better appreciate art, but I can also use it to bludgeon any burglars who dare enter my domain.
5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST visual art history book there is. Period.
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great
Love this book, very comprehensive and beautiful. Would recommend for anyone who wishes to develop an overall understanding of art through the ages. Not meant to give an in-depth review of a certain period, but it gives more than just the basics.
5.0 out of 5 stars Handsome and comprehensive.
Just magnificent. The author provides wonderful explanations and even includes a reminder of how to look at art.. It covers not just Western art but Islamic and other cultures a swell. At this began price I was able to send copies to two friends, not for any special occasion but just because. The reproductions are top notch. What a treat.

4.0 out of 5 stars Small printing
I believe this is a good book. I only flipped through and did not really read it. I can tell it covers a full spectrum of the art history and quality of the printing is excellent.I ended up returning it because the print in this book is really small and it's hard to read without straining my eyes. It is understandable because it would be a huge book otherwise.
Impressive Book, Highly recommended
