The Power of Art by Caroline Campbell

A dazzling new history of the world and a popular introduction to art history by a renowned expert
A formidable work of synthesis.. Each of [Campbell's] case studies, however, is taut in its telling and rich in detail ... lovers of historical facts will be in clover ... In the author's persuasive telling, the world as we know it is not the creation of great men and their battles, but of an infinite number of artists and craftsmen -- Michael Prodger * Country Life *
