Brimming with illustrations, this stunningly original book presents the role of light in art throughout history. This richly illustrated book takes readers on a tour through the history of art to learn how artists have used light (and its lack of it as shadow) to make a statement about their subject matter or create a specific mood, with examples by masters such as Giotto, Botticelli, Caravaggio, Vermeer, Courbet, Turner, Klimt, and many more. It also includes theoretical approaches starting with Plato and Aristotle, moving on to Descartes, Newton, Goethe and Chevreul. This volume constitutes a perfect reference book for artists, students, scholars, and art lovers.
