From the Byzantine era to post-modernism, from Giotto to Hockney and beyond, “Sister Wendy’s Story of Painting” is an in-depth look at 800 years of Western art. More than 750 full-color photographs and supporting illustrations, documents, and drawings pertaining to the artists and their times bring the art to life. More than 450 masterpieces — all faithfully reproduced in superb full color — chronicle the developments and movements in painting over the past 800 years, from Gothic to Renaissance, Romanticism to Impressionism, Post-Impressionism to Modernism.
Each movement is introduced by visual timelines that provide an instant overview of the important artists and paintings of that era. Sister Wendy Beckett analyzes more than 30 of the world’s most famous paintings in- depth, including Botticelli’s ‘The Birth of Venus, ‘ Rembrandt’s ‘The Jewish Bride, ‘ Monet’s ‘The Waterlily Pond, ‘ and van Gogh’s ‘Self-Portrait.’ Using enlarged details of the paintings, hidden meanings and symbolism are reveal and painting techniques explained.
