About this audiobook

From the cave walls of Lascaux to the canvases of the modern gallery, painting has recorded what humans see, believe and imagine. This book follows its story through Egyptian tombs and medieval icons, the Renaissance mastery of perspective, and the drama of the Baroque.

It introduces the key movements, techniques and ideas that shaped each era, and shows how painting has continually reinvented itself. A Brief History of Painting is a vivid and accessible introduction to one of the world's greatest art forms.
