An entirely new approach to exploring global art history, presented through the lens of one of the world's leading art museums

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.

通过世界**艺术博物馆之一的镜头用一种全新的方式探索全球艺术史

这本开创性的书籍收录了纽约大都会艺术博物馆（New Metropolitan Museum of Art）藏品中的800多件艺术品。因为是按照主题关键字而不是通常使用的时间顺序或地理位置划分，并借鉴了大都会博物馆在线的海尔布隆艺术史时间表（Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History）的分析数据，本书提供了与视觉文化互动的新颖、非传统方式。除了大量的插图，160余篇引人入胜的策展文章将这些作品放在更广泛的背景中，同时大插页，可拆卸的时间表则提供了更深入的视角。
