Book Overview

This clear and accessible handbook introduces viewers to the study of paintings as physical objects. In close examinations of twenty-five works of art from medieval to contemporary times, the book explains the layers of a painting, how paintings can change over time, information that may be on the reverse, and more. The authors also show how the physical attributes of an artwork can illuminate important critical, historical, and social issues.
