The history of painting, numbering thousands of years, is inseparable from the history of the development of civilization. Painting is an eternal search for the perfect image of the elusive world, which reflects the person himself, with all his strengths and weaknesses. The monumental work of the world-famous German art critic, professor of art history at Breslau (Wroclaw) University, director of the State Graphic Collection in Munich, Richard Muther (1860-1909), who collected truly colossal material on the history of fine art of the countries of the world, is an opportunity to relive the most exciting and memorable moments of the eternal movement of mankind towards the ideal.
Richard Muther's book, which went out of print in 1894, sold out within a few months and caused a real public storm. The verdict of the reading public was as follows: “Muter drove the last nail into the coffin of dead academicism and conditional realism” (D. V. Filosofov). The book was a brilliant triumph, which can only be wished for by a scientific writer: his book is recognized as the first work in which the quest of innovators of the XNUMXth century was appreciated. Muter's book is considered a turning point not only in the history of literature on art, but it marks the beginning of a new history of attitudes towards artistic creation as a way of understanding and transforming the world.
