Ancient and Classical Art by P.P. Kahane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Whether painting on walls (frescoes, murals) or pottery, this work plots the evolution of largely Western/European painting from prehistoric cave paintings to stunningly lifelike and naturalistic Fayum mummy portraits. Easily have of the layout content is full-color, high quality images. Nicely laid out chronologically with no text content that cannot be read while the relevant images is at hand, this is a bit like a catalog with detailed, descriptive captions. It is an educational museum in a pocket.
