This richly illustrated volume delves into the evolution of Art Nouveau in three pivotal cities—Paris, Brussels, and Barcelona—during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Emerging as a reaction against historicism, Art Nouveau sought to replace traditional forms with organic, plant-inspired ornamentation and functional design principles. In Paris and Brussels, the movement produced intricate floral motifs and innovative architectural elements, while in Barcelona, it became a profound expression of national identity. Through detailed analyses and abundant visual examples, this book offers a comprehensive look at how Art Nouveau manifested in these cities, highlighting its origins and diverse expressions in France, Belgium, and Spain.
Painting from 1200 to 1500 is a mirror of its time, marked by deep religiousness as well as progressive tendencies, by economic prosperity as well as devastating wars and epidemics. A religious perspective is joined by secular themes and efforts to achieve a realistic way of representation. These developments take place in book illumination, which is accessible to rather few people, as well as in the public medium of frescoes and, since 1300, also in panel paintings. With nearly 500 works, Gothic 1200-1500 gives an overview of the visual art of the time.
In the 1860s, a style of painting emerged in Paris which fundamentally called into question the artistic concepts that had been prevalent in academies up to that time. Impressionist artists such as Monet, Renoir, and Degas now focused on their impression of the moment, which was captured in paintings depicting moods and light at certain times of the day and of the season, as well as in snapshots of modern life. This new kind of artistic worldview spread to other countries in Europe and the USA, which in turn produced numerous Impressionist painters. With more than 450 works, Impressionism presents an overview of the most important Impressionist paintings.

An overview of the most important paintings of the Renaissance; includes more than 400 works. The origin of Renaissance painting lies in Italy. With the return to antiquity, a world view was revived that enabled man to determine his own existence. In painting, new picture themes developed as well as a new way of representation oriented towards reality. This naturalism, for its part, was significantly influenced by Dutch painting from around 1450. With the transition from the 15th to the 16th century, Rome followed Florence as the centre of the Renaissance. Shortly thereafter, the new style also radiates to other European countries. In Northern Europe, the Renaissance combined with late medieval currents, which also placed earthly existence at the centre of attention.
