Publisher's Summary

How well do you know the Mona Lisa? What about Michelangelo's David? Or Van Gogh's The Starry Night? You've seen famous paintings and sculptures in textbooks, museums, and movies. But do you know the compelling and fascinating stories behind the art–or the ways art changed history? How did the Civil War shape the work of a young war correspondent? Why did an emperor bury a terracotta army, and what famous tapestry covered wagons during the French Revolution? Was a famous classical sculpture actually a Renaissance forgery? And how close did Hitler get when he tried to steal the Mona Lisa?

Journey through 3,000 years of art and history to shine a light on the hidden stories behind the world's most famous works of art.
