This beautifully illustrated hardback looks at 100 of the most fascinating works of art to have been created from the Eastern world, filled with full-colour artworks.
Moving from the Near East and Middle East across to the Pacific and Oceania by way of India, China and Japan, John Finlay explores the incredible art that the Eastern world has to offer. Whether it be an example of indigenous art, a Japanese woodblock print, an architectural gem, such as Angkor Wat, a fine porcelain or alabaster vase, an incredible item of jewellery or a delicate and intricate miniature Persian painting, the breadth and craftsmanship is celebrated in 100 invaluable works.
Each work is shown in full colour and is accompanied by an analysis of its history, the artist (if known) who created it and the significance it brings to the art world.
