Resumen del libro

An up-to-date survey covering the years 1380-1580, when northern Europe witnessed a period of artistic innovation as dynamic as contemporary events in Italy
Discusses the work of artists such as Van Eyck, Durer and Holbein, who mastered new techniques of oil painting and printmaking to produce some of the most exquisite art of all time
Examines the developments in all the arts, from paintings, tapestries and illuminated manuscripts to sculpture and architecture
Sets the art in the context of intellectual and religious horizons, brought about by events such as the Protestant Reformation and the discovery of the Americas

revistas de prensa

'Art & Ideas has broken new ground in making accessible authoritative views on periods, movements and concepts in art. As a series it represents a real advance in publishing.' (Sir Nicholas Serota, Director, Tate London)

'The format is wonderful and offers what had long been missing in academic studies: usable manuals for specific themes or periods...I am definitely not alone in welcoming Art & Ideas as a precious set of teaching tools.' (Joachim Pissarro, Yale University)
