This terriffic book has a single timeline running through it – a glorious gallery of art through history, from prehistoric cave paintings to street art, and everything in between. 

Art movements such as the Renaissance, Impressionism, Surrealism, and Pop Art are explored and explained. There are biographies, too, of key figures behind some of the world’s best-known artworks, from Rembrandt to Rodin, Botticelli to Banksy. With every story plotted on a timeline, the pages give a snapshot of each era, and reveal the influences and connections behind the works of art and artistic movements that have reflected our world. 

With more than 1,000 images of paintings, drawings, photographs, and sculptures, Art Year by Year is the ultimate visual guide to the history of art, century by century, year by year.
