A guide to art from around the world, from prehistory to the present, complete with more than 600 maps and illustrations and a searchable CD-Rom. Covering painting, sculpture, architecture and artifacts, this volume provides an entirely new vision of the history of art by showing how physical and political geography has shaped its developments. Global in scope, this compares countries separated by distance and centuries, demonstrating how the art of each is affected by opportunities and constraints dictated by location and culture. This atlas provides exceptional insight into the origins of art history and what unites art around the globe.
