Description
This fascinating book provides a concise and colorful history of art from earliest times to the present day in almost three hundred color and black and white illustrations. From the cave art of primitive man, we move to the flowering of the Egyptian and Near Eastern civilizations. The ordered, classical beauty of Greek sculptures and architecture then gives way to the imperial splendor of Rome and its dominions. And from the triumphs of Rome developed the style known as Byzantine, which was to influence styles in Eastern Europe from Venice to Constantinople for centuries to follow.
