In this reappraisal of how the history of art can be presented and understood, readers are given insights not only into how and why works of art were created, but also how works in different media relate to each other across time. This is not the simple, linear story of art, but a series of stories, told from varying viewpoints. The founding principle of the book has been to use selected groupings of pictures to give readers a sense of the visual ""texture"" of the various periods and episodes covered. The 167 illustration groups, supported by explanatory text and picture captions, create a sequence of ""visual tours"" - not merely a procession of individual works viewed in isolation, but juxtapositions of significant images that convey a sense of the visual environments in which works of art need to be viewed in order to be understood and appreciated.
