An array of international experts tells the story of art in Britain from the post-Reformation period through to the birth of the modern era. The momentous changes that shook Britain from the Civil Wars to the emergence of the British Empire all had effects on its art and culture. With clarity and incisive scholarship, this volume offers a new appreciation of the work of artists from Van Dyck to the Pre-Raphaelites.
