Featuring more than 800 artworks from the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, this groundbreaking book

organized by thematic keywords rather than the usual chronological or geographical categories, and drawing upon analytics from The Met s online Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History

offers fresh, unconventional ways of engaging with visual culture. Beyond the wealth of illustration, more than 160 engaging curatorial essays place the works in wider contexts, while a foldout, detachable timeline offers further perspective.
