Art Book Review!

I recently bought an art history book that is a fun and great read for those who like to analyze every small detail of a painting. Titled "Great Paintings: The World's Masterpieces Explored and Explained", the book takes a magnifying glass to art works spanning from Medieval to Modern. The book breaks down the finer details of each painting, explaining symbolism, techniques, style, and historical influence. It also gives a mini biography of the artist so that the reader may better understand the significance of the work and why it was created. 

I think it's a good read for young adults and children. Since art history books can some times be intimidating and the thought of reading the tedious text can be overwhelming for the younger crowd. This book breaks things down nicely and makes it entertaining to read. You can sit down with your child and explore paintings from the past together. That's the beauty of learning about art history. You never know what new things you might discover. 

A sneak peak of the book!
