Leonardo Da Vinci
The quintessential Renaissance Man, Leonardo Da Vinci remarkably accomplished more in the fields of painting, sculpture, mathematics, engineering, and architecture than anyone of his day--or perhaps ever since.
ISBN: 978-1-934545-00-3
Michelangelo
If Michelangelo had created nothing but the majestic statue of David, his place in art history would have been secure; that he combined tremendous talents in both sculpture and painting marks him as one of the greatest artists who ever lived.
ISBN: 978-1-934545-01-0
Rembrandt
His historical paintings alone leave us with a fresh, vivid view of life in seventeenth-century Holland, but the landscapes and portraits Rembrandt van Rijn also created reveal innovative artistic techniques that fill us with awe hundreds of years later.
ISBN: 978-1-934545-02-7
The Impressionists
The painters who burst onto the stage of nineteenth-century Paris created art in non-traditional, even "revolutionary" ways, employing methods that had never been used before; included are the works and lives of, among other groundbreaking artists, Manet, Renoir, Monet, Degas, and Cezanne.
ISBN: 978-1-934545-03-4
The Art of the Renaissance
From Italy to Spain, from France to Germany and beyond, Europe in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries witnessed an outpouring of artistic activity unsurpassed by anything either before or since, including the works of, among other artists, Raphael, Van Eick, Durer, and Titian, as well as the giants Leonardo and Michelangelo.
ISBN: 978-1-934545-04-1
Van Gogh
