Review: Fabulously illustrated and informative - Absolutely stunning book. Beautifully illustrated and informative. This is the type of book your children can pass down to their children one day. Review: Absolutely worth it! - I have been waiting to get this book, being hesitant as I was wondering whether it was 'just another' Art Book that was lacking in some way. I'm so glad I finally decided to get it! It's wonderfully set out and comprehensive without being overwhelming for a 9 year old. It covers all the important periods in art, a good selection of the most influential cultures and artists, grand pieces of art highlighted (mostly paintings but short sections of sculpture and photography) and the illustrations are the next best thing to seeing the greatest works in a gallery, especially when most of it is virtual at the moment due to the circumstances. A pleasure to look at for children and adults alike, and containing a high standard of Bitesize information in all subjects covered, including life story timelines for each artist double spread.

Informative and well structured.
Very nice book, informative and well-structured but sadly missing a few of our favourite artists and shorter than advertised. My 6 year old loves it.

An excellent introduction resource
A very sturdy and well made book. The text information is a long way beyond my three year old, however the pictures of the artworks in their many forms and styles make for some interesting browsing. There’s not a great deal on art forms other than paintings, with a small amount of the book dedicated to sculpture and so on toward the back. The book depicts art from many different essential movements, and also explores ancient and modern art. There are dedicated pages to well known artists, and showcases their most famous art. This is a great introduction to art that is lovely to look through.

Un libro d’arte di qualità
Ottimo libro per introdurre l’arte ai bambini; la stampa ha un’ottima risoluzione e la composizione è moderna. Il fatto che per ora sia disponibile sono in inglese potrebbe essere un problema per qualcuno

Excellent for eleven year olds with an interest in Art.
In my opinion this publication is most suitable for my eleven year old grandaughters, it's concise and the photography/images not only compliments the text it elucidates what is being expounded.
