Caravaggio

de Trewin Copplestone

Any appreciation of art must rest finally on the art itself -- the painting, the fresco, the mosaic -- and these monographs have been edited and designed with this, after all irrefutable, concept in mind. The works of great artists as well as those works which came from the great schools and movements in art are presented as things in themselves, to be enjoyed simply for what they are -- masterpieces in colour. Each volume contains twelve colour paintings selected for their individual beauty as well as for their value and importance in the development of the particular artist or art movement concerned. An introduction and notes to accompany the plates have been specially written for each volume by an authority on the subject, which will enable the reader to appraise concisely the background against which these masterpieces have been created. - Flyleaf.
