Includes bibliographical references and index.
"Beginning with prehistoric cave drawings and Greek statues; continuing through the Gothic, Byzantine, Baroque, and the Renaissance movements; and concluding with the Impressionist work of Monet and Picasso, Annie Labatt asks readers to consider each work and think about the artist who created it and what they wanted us to see. She frames our understanding of the piece's historical and social context as well as the artist's background and, in many cases, the patron who commissioned it. The discussion of each period stands alone and lends itself to be read in no particular order. From the tiniest details to the broadest cultural implications, the work helps readers see why these artworks are considered masterpieces"--
