From Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to contemporary Israel with its problems and conflicts, this lavish volume takes a fascinating journey through Jewish history. It chronicles the religion's principles and beliefs; key figures and events; and the diversity of Jewish culture that arose as, exiled from their homeland, they dispersed both east and west. Fifteen breathtaking rare facsimile documents include pages from the Vienna Genesis, the oldest illustrated Biblical codex; a letter describing one of the Russian pogroms in 1881; and a copy of David Ben Gurion's speech declaring Israel's independence in 1948. |

No other movement has had as great an impact on art in the last 200 years, nor been as popular with museumgoers, as the Impressionists. This breathtaking volume—filled with fabulous facsimile artifacts, including letters, reviews, posters, preliminary sketches, palette lists, and more—looks at the journey these great painters endured to establish themselves in the art world. It places the art in its historical context, analyzes the predominant techniques, focuses on the major painters and on the female Impressionists, explains how their work influenced later generations, and even reveals the artists' loves and personal battles. |
