It is impossible to study art history without exploring the political, social, and cultural history surrounding the creation of a work of art or its influence on the artist's oeuvre. It may be easy, however, to overlook one key factor of art historical study that many students and researchers take for granted...geography. The Art Atlas hones in on this critical facet of art influence and creation by exploring artists' travels, trade routes, and the global impact of wars and religion in a series of beautifully rendered maps. Begin this cartographic journey through art history from the dawn of man and their cave paintings all the way to the modern era of technology.
