The Story of Art

For more than 50 years Ernst Gombrich's The Story of Art has been a global bestseller -the perfect introduction to art history.
From the earliest cave paintings to the art of the twentieth century, Gombrich's fluid, unfolding narrative is a masterpiece of clarity and personal insight.
Currently in its 16th édition, this classic book has been translated into more than 30 languages, published in hardback, paperback and pocket editions, and sold more than 8 million copies.
Written by the most emminent art historian of the twentieth century, this luxurious slipcased, cloth-bound volume is the perfect gift for collectors, students and art lovers alike - ideal to treasure and keep and guaranteed to inspire future generations.
« More people-artists, students and scholars alike-have been introduced to the world of fine art, in the last 45 years, through Ernst Gombrich's The Story of Art than through any other single book. It is a magnificent story, written by a great historian whose directness, suspicion of jargon and enthusiasm remain as infectious as ever. »
