520 3 _aGreat Paintings of the Western World features 300 of the most splendid works of Western art of all time.Beginning with the earliest paleolithic cave paintings and the majestic frescoes of ancient Egypt, this unique survey travels to classical Greece, its vases richly detailed with epic tales of the gods; Rome, with its elegant mosaics; the early Christian period, when brilliant illustrated manuscripts previewed the glories of the afterlife; and to the Middle Ages, when Romanesque and Gothic paintings kindled the religious fervor of an ardent populace.
