Throughout Art Across Time, artists and their works are vividly described with biographical notes, historical context, and informative boxed asides that clarify the methods by which pieces are made and the political or social influences that affect their creation. Each illustration has been carefully reviewed for color accuracy, and the large percentage of full-page reproductions presents a rare opportunity for readers to examine details of brushwork and texture that are lost in smaller images. All in all, this colorful book is an ideal gift that will appeal to all those who appreciate art.
