The Path of the Ages by Björn Th. Björnsson.


In this book, the author traces various aspects of the history of art, taking into account the environment and the spirit of the times from which the works emerged. The almanac "The Golden Hours" is discussed, which is considered one of the pearls of European art at the end of the Gothic style, the famous painting "Arnolfini and His Bride" by Jan van Eyck, the terrifying visual world of Hieronymus Bosch in "The Seven Deadly Sins", Michelangelo's sculptures of the hours of the day and the Baroque works "The Judgement of Paris" by Rubens, "Bathsheba" by Rembrandt and "The Milkmaid" by Vermeer. From the 19th century, we are introduced to the creation of Géricault's landmark work, "The Raft of the Medusa" and Manet's shocking masterpiece, "Breakfast in the Wood". Picasso's masterpiece, "Life" from 1903, then drives the train.
