Special features celebrate the lives of groundbreaking painters, sculptors, and photographers, from Dutch master Johannes Vermeer to photography pioneer Julia Margaret Cameron. Many best-loved pieces of art are showcased in iconic images.

Marvel at Leonardo da Vinci's mysterious Mona Lisa, the most famous painted lady. March alongside China's statues of the Terracotta Army, and gaze in awe at Barbara Hepworth's stunning Pelagos sculpture.

Packed with pictures and full of facts, Art A Children's Encyclopedia is guaranteed to become a family favourite, encouraging a love of art through the generations.
