A delightful coloring book for any age, offering a range of masterpiece paintings that any art enthusiast can bring to life. This beautiful book brings together thirty major works of art history, from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries, to discover and make one’s own through the creative and meditative act of coloring. Each artwork is accompanied by fun and interesting facts that explain the style of each painter and his or her signature techniques and trace the artistic influences and the historical context of their work and time. Painstakingly reproduced with each painting rendered in minute detail, these works invite the colorer to work on the great masterpieces of Western painting. Works include Botticelli’s Allegory of Spring, Fra Angelico’s The Annunciation, Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights, Vermeer’s The Music Lesson, Van Gogh’s Wheat Field with Cypresses, and Picasso’s Portrait of Marie-Thérèse, to name a few. Upon completion, there is a spot on the back of each colored project for the colorer to add their name to the original artist’s, and each piece is on perforated paper, so as an added feature, each reproduced painting is detachable and framable. This beautiful book is handsomely designed with sturdy binding and paper that is perfect for such mediums as colored pencil, pen and ink, and watercolor, and it makes a unique gift for both young and old.

Learning about art through the ages has never been as interesting or fun as in this humorous and very informative graphic novel. As two kids give their grandpa a tour of Paris, he starts an interesting conversation with them--about where all the art they see in their lives--from the movie house to the stadiums to museums and even the subway-- started. Dad's impromptu history lesson goes back to the first Cavemen drawings to the pyramids of Giza, and by the end of the book includes Greco-Roman feats of ingenuity and the frescoes of the Renaissance. Recounted as a narrative about why different civilizations created different kinds of art, centuries of art history are explored entertainingly for young readers. Iconic works, such as Donatello's David and The Book of Kells, are included as well as architectural feats like the Colosseum. Written by a tour guide for museums and historic landmarks, the text is designed to entertain (with many funny asides and jokes) as it informs. The illustrations accurately portray the art and the artists described, with flavor and humor added to keep readers turning the page. Reproductions of the featured artworks and information about each piece are included in the back, along with a glossary of terms.
