The Story of Art by Eh Gombrich

A cornerstone of art history in a compact yet readable format and with a new preface by the author's granddaughter

'One of the great classics of art criticism' – Independent

'There is something seductive about holding all of art history in one hand.' – Art and Auction

'The pleasing proportions of this edition are a marvel of compactness.’ – Boston Globe

'a book to slip into your pocket and dip into on a journey. It remains a delight to read.' – The Good Book Guide


'… beautifully designed' – Frank Whitford, The Sunday Times
Sir Ernst Gombrich’s standing in the world of art and his popularity with experts and a vast general readership remain unrivalled. Born in Vienna, he came to London in 1936 to work at the Warburg Institute, where he became director from 1959 until his retirement in 1976. He won numerous honors, including a knighthood, the Order of Merit, and the Goethe, Hegel, and Erasmus prizes.
