Artistic activities are one of the symbols of the beginning of the history of human civilization. While human society has created a splendid world civilization, it has also made brilliant artistic achievements: the highly respected stone sculptures of Mesopotamia, the glorious ancient Egyptian pyramids and temple buildings, the sacred and solemn Buddhist art of ancient India, the European medieval architecture known as "solidified music" and "history written in stone", the Renaissance and the colorful world art afterward... These achievements are the precious artistic heritage of mankind.

This book is so rich in content! Covering a wide range of artistic achievements, from Mesopotamian stone sculpture to European medieval architecture, it is an encyclopedia of art history. Moreover, the book also talks about the relationship between art and world civilization, which made me understand the importance of art even more. I think this book can not only improve our cultural quality, but also allow us to better understand the psychological characteristics of various ethnic groups in the world. All in all, highly recommended!
