The Dictionary of Artists' Models is the first extensive reference work to identify and contextualize the lives and art history of individual artist's models.

This text expands the scope of the thematic guide to art to include mythological, biblical, and literary themes that have been represented in art of all periods and media.

This work brings together seminal writings on the history, philosophy and practice of painting. The volumes trace a chronology of painting from the pre-Renaissance onwards, addressing notions and techniques of the artist and the artwork before setting out the key critical perspectives, problematics and approaches that frame modern painting practice from the nineteenth century through to the contemporary period.

A monumental reference work designed to eliminate many of the problems encountered in the search for a reproduction of a particular painting.
