From the Renaissance to the end of the Ancien Regime, this book presents over three centuries of European art in both its social and cultural background. Examining painting, sculpture and architecture, as well as applied media, the author traces in detail the artistic developments in Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria, Ukraine and western parts of the Russian Federation, covering a range of artifacts and artists, many of which are being brought to light for the first time.
