Description

The richly varied illustrations are all in color—over a thousand of them, with many full-page plates showing works of paramount importance and interest. The major epochs, schools, and styles of Western and Eastern painting are represented in murals, illuminations, decorated vessels, mosaics, panel paintings, and scrolls. Most of the examples have been chosen to give a fresh and unhackneyed selection, and some of the works are well-nigh inaccessible to the usual art-loving tourist.
