François Clouet’s chalk portrait of the frail and short-lived Francis II of
France (1560) is one of the illustrations in the book, which aims to help
readers extend their appreciation of all types of paintings by identifying and
interpreting the elements that make a picture memorable. The 245 colour plates
cover works that range from those of the medieval artist Guido of Siena to
those by Jackson Pollock.
