Présentation de l'éditeur
This attractive little gift book is a fabulous collection of some of the most popular masterpieces in the National Gallery. High-quality reproductions are enhanced by short and accessible introductory texts, and the pocket-sized hardback format is luxurious and durable. Many of the pictures in the National Gallery, London, rank among the finest treasures in the history of western European art. Taking even a brief glance at this book it's likely you'll see paintings you immediately recognise, be they by Holbein, Leonardo da Vinci, Titian, Rembrandt, Turner or Van Gogh. This guide presents nearly 200 masterpieces, arranged in four sections that reflect the layout of the gallery: Sainsbury Wing (1250-1500), the West Wing (1500-1600), the North Wing (1600-1700) and the East Wing (1700-1900). The choice of paintings is based on their popularity with visitors and art historical importance, as well as introducing the reader to a few less well-known gems.
