Preceding the first edition of his book, the writer, playwright and translator Pyotr Gnedich defined his goal as follows: "The present book is the first attempt to give in the Russian language, in a lively and concise presentation, a picture of the general course of the development of the arts from the most ancient times to the present day...". And he succeeded - and that is the main merit of P. P. Gnedich, whose authority as a popularizer of classical knowledge about art is still undisputed.
The amount of factual material presented in the "General History of Art" is immense without exaggeration: before the reader unfolds a complete picture of the development of architecture, painting, sculpture from ancient times to the twentieth century. The book presents all the best that was created by the geniuses of painting, sculpture, architecture for the entire centuries-old history of human civilization.
The graphic material is equally splendid - about a thousand illustrations of excellent quality make this book an ideal gift. The undeniable advantage of the proposed edition - additional reference material, explanations to the illustrations, comments and necessary notes. This modern, richly illustrated edition will become a real decoration of the home library, an unforgettable gift for everyone who is interested in masterpieces of world art from Ancient Egypt to the classic works of Russian masters.
