English Artists: 10 Masters Who Conquered the World

From William Hogarth to Aubrey Beardsley—ten artists who shaped the look of British painting and influenced the masters of Europe.

The book tells the story of the creative paths of ten outstanding British painters. Some are widely known throughout the world, while others are familiar mainly to discerning connoisseurs of English culture. Yet each artist’s contribution became an important page in the formation and development of the British art school, and in some cases also left a clear mark on the continental tradition. These were not only talented masters, but also vibrant, distinctive individuals. In a richly illustrated volume with many color reproductions, you will learn about the lives and works of William Hogarth, Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Gainsborough, William Blake, Joseph Mallord William Turner, John Constable, Edward Burne-Jones, George Frederic Watts, Frederic Leighton, and Aubrey Vincent Beardsley.

Additional materials are provided in PDF format: they can be downloaded on the audiobook page on the website after purchase.
