In the Picture
Author(s): Lucy Micklethwait
Here, in one big book, are 10 exciting, detailed paintings, each surrounded by 6 small, close-ups of something in the picture. Can you work out where each close-up belongs? Every spread carries a simple note about its picture, date and artist. And there are lots more activities at the end of the book to get you looking and thinking. The 10 paintings range from familiar names such as Hieronymus Bosch and Jan Breughel the Elder to modern painters such as Marc Chagall and Georges Seurat, and also include a Moghul manuscript and trompe l'oeil painting, all chosen from the world's greatest art galleries.
