Gardner's Art Through the Ages by Fred Kleiner
The most widely read and respected history of art and architecture in the English language for over 85 years just got easier to carry. GARDNER'S ART THROUGH THE AGES: BACKPACK EDITION, BOK B: THE MIDLE AGES, 15e is part of a six-book set that provides you with a comprehensive, beautifully illustrated tour of the world's great artistic traditions. Easy to read and understand, the text provides a rich cultural backdrop for each of the covered periods and geographical locations and incorporates new artists and art forms--all reproduced according to the highest standards of clarity and color fidelity. The Fifteenth Edition includes new images, new boxed features, updated maps, new architectural videos, Google Earth coordinates for every artwork and site in the text, architectural reconstructions beautifully rendered by John Burge, and MindTap's personal learning experience.
