Features: This book largely follows the style of Van Loon's original work, tracing the development of Western art through the timeline. It covers important schools and figures in the history of art. During the process of reselection and revision, corrections have been made to the omissions and inaccuracies in Van Loon's original work due to historical limitations. Additionally, in the selection of some key figures, Van Loon seems somewhat arbitrary. For example, it is generally accepted in art history that the early Renaissance period is marked by the period centered around Florence, starting from Giotto to Botticelli; the height of the Renaissance is characterized by the rise of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael; while the Venetian school, represented by Titian, represents the highest achievement in late painting art.
