Historia irreverente del arte

This book is not a history of art. Nor is it a reference to the great works of universal art that usually appear in school textbooks. Not one recipient to distinguish between Romanesque and Gothic art. This is an irreverent and trenchant art history that focuses on Western Europe and the Mediterranean from the fall of the Western Roman Empire to the fifteenth century. Alberto Garín, archaeologist and art historian, offers the reader an amazing artistic journey through places like Rome, Constantinoble, Damasc, Granada or Florence, with the objective of exploring and observing, both sharp and erudition, the sensibility of those artists who with their exercise have contributed to building the culture and the world in which they live.
