The History of British Art, Volume 2: 1600-1870

An array of international experts tells the story of art in Britain from the post-Reformation period through to the birth of the modern era. The momentous changes that shook Britain--from the Civil Wars to the emergence of the British Empire--all had effects on its art and culture. With clarity and incisive scholarship, this volume offers a new appreciation of the work of artists from Van Dyck to the Pre-Raphaelites.
