Books Art Before 1870
Category: Visual Arts Before 1870
The category Visual Arts before 1870 of Alexanders Artbooks Shop shows all available books of the visual arts within the collection that focus on art, artists, art history and artforms before the period of Modern Art. So, you find here books of art about the art history and style periods from the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque era, Rococo, Classicism towards Romanticism and Realism, and all art before those periods. The year 1870 is chosen as a kind of boundary, which roughly corresponds with the start of impressionism, which can be seen as the start of Modern Art. Of course we know that the art historical reality is more complex then this, but the delimitation has no other goal then to practically divide the number of artbooks of this shop in conveniently arranged parts.
The art books in this part of our collection are published by renowned art publishers such as Abrams, Flammarion, Hirmer Verlag, Laurence King Publishing, Oxford University Press, Phaidon, Prestel, Princeton University Press, Silvana Editoriale, Skira, Taschen, Thames & Hudson, Yale University Press and others.
