Originally published in 1938 when Kenneth Clark was director of the National Gallery, London, this book presents Clarks favorite details from paintings in the museums collection. Newly updated and handsomely illustrated, this landmark book juxtaposes pairs of details rarely viewed togethersuch as cupids from Velzquezs Rokeby Venus and Correggios The School of Loveto illuminate fascinating analogies and contrasts between paintings and artists. Clarks erudite but accessible responses to these works are broad in scope and approach, and range from a few lines to an entire history of the still life. Featuring all new color reproductions, One Hundred Details serves as an introduction to art history and offers a unique and intimate look at these paintings through the discerning eye of a worldrenowned art historian and director.Published by National Gallery Company/Distributed by Yale University Press
