Thanks to this endless commentary with the world art culture, we have psychological, intellectual and spiritual wealth."

Artists of this period Sandro Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Titian, Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel the Elder were not just artists. They were philosophers charged with the main problems of the time. Returning to the ideals of Antiquity, they created a whole, with an internal unity concept of peace, filled traditional religious subjects with earthly content.
The last book included in this course of lectures tells about the phenomenon of Impressionism. Edouard Manet and Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and Ogust Renoir, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Paul Gauguin tried to convey to the viewer the impression, the beauty of everyday reality, and convey what the eye sees in a particular moment, and it turned out that their creativity once and for all influenced all the subsequent art.
The book invites the reader on a fascinating journey through the centuries, where he, following the story of an art historian, will be able to rethink the images of world art culture.
