A crash course in art history from pre-history to post-modern. This comprehensive guide to art in history is one of the most excellent resources I’ve seen. The Annotated Mona Lisa is filled with colored art reproductions and the history surrounding the art work as well as the time period they were done in. This volume enables the user to pull together on their timeline or in their minds the order in which history occured and why. A must for all serious students and teachers. (May we suggest drawing clothes on the few nudes in this otherwise great book). Reg. $26.99
