This is a revised and enlarged edition of an authoritative introduction to the history of world art. Broader in scope than any comparable survey, the volume examines architecture, sculpture, painting, and the minor arts from pre-history to the present. The text has been enlarged to include a chapter on Pre-Historic Art, another on the arts of the American Indians in Peru and Mexico, and a third on the Art of Primitive Peoples. The chapters on the arts of the twentieth century in Europe and America have been greatly expanded to incorporate the further artistic achievement and increased historical perspective of the past decade. Full attention is also given to the art of the Near and Far East.
During the three decades between 1890 and 1920, the United States entered the modern era and considered how to meet its new realities—its diverse urban industrial society and its enlarged world power.
One of the most concise and on point books about astrology, numerology, esoteric sciences and the like. An unabridged, digitally enlarged printing to include all illustrations by the author.

This masterly account of Leonardo da Vinci and his vision of the world has long been recognized as the classic treatment of the Renaissance giant, offering unparalleled insight into Leonardo's intellect and vision at every stage of his artistic career.Kemp shows how Leonardo's early training in Florence provided a crucial foundation in the "science of art," particularly perspective and anatomy, while his period in the service of the Sforzas of Milan enlarged his outlook to embrace a wide range of natural sciences and mathematics, as he searched for scientific rules governing both man and the universe.
