The urge to create pictures of our world has been with us since early man daubed a fingerful of pigment on a rock, or used primitive colours to create images of the beasts he hunted - images so powerful they have never been surpassed. This book tells the story of what painting has meant to us, and how its role has changed over the centuries.
