| Summary/Abstract |
There has always been a close relationship between art and society, whereby art can both support the status quo and act as a catalyst or symptom of radical change. This is the main theme underlying the narrative in the illustrated history of art, and changes in style, techniques and subject matter in painting are charted and explained in the context in which they occurred.
