Описание: - Compact, affordable introduction to some of the world's most popular artists, looking at their works in incredible detail - Filled with superbly reproduced full-page, close-up details, offering new views of some of the world's most popular paintings Pieter Bruegel invites us to study and to admire his work down to the tiniest element. He was a trained and experienced miniaturist, draughtsman and print designer: skills that combined with his brilliant painting technique enable us to read every image and every detail. Bruegel created a world of unprecedented visual richness: it is impossible to take in everything at once, as there is so much to see. Even experts who have studied his work for years are continually surprised by new discoveries. Alongside this rich viewing experience, Bruegel always offers layers of visual and intellectual meaning, expressed most clearly in the details. Not to forget the equally characteristic dollop of humor we find in the subtle and ironic way he approaches his fellow human beings and their universal and timeless foibles. Bruegel in Detail homes in on the extraordinary visual, technical and intellectual wealth of this master's work. Every detail in Bruegel is packed with significance and relevance.

Описание: A compact, affordable introduction to Leonardo da Vinci, revealing his works in stunning close-up detail

The Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, Lady with an Ermine--these and other masterpieces are just part of why Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) is considered one of the greatest artists of all time. A true Renaissance man, da Vinci was active in fields as diverse as astronomy, painting, sculpture, science, mathematics, engineering, cartography, and architecture. His painting was based on a deep understanding of the workings of the human body and the physics of light and shade. Here, in full and in stunning full-page close-up details, are the mere two dozen works that are attributed to the Florentine master, along with clear, insightful text by art historian Stefano Zuffi.
