520			_aRanging over a vast and fascinating spectrum of world art, each article in this invaluable work of reference is the work of a specialist writer. All are illustrated with superb color reproductions. In addition the book also contains some special features which are of two kinds: "Gallery Studies" which explore and illustrate themes such as Mochica effigy vases in pre-Columbian art, or Romantic landscape painting in Europe; and "Close Studies" which focus on particular works like the Antioch Chalice or Gustave Courbet's "The Artist's Studio". Volume two A Biographical Dictionary of Artists is a guide to the figures who have dominated the visual arts throughout the ages. Each article summarises the development of an artist's style and important works against a background of relevant biographical information and assesses his lasting contribution to the arts.
