Based on the acclaimed YouTube channel of the same name, Great Art Explained reveals the hidden narratives behind thirty of the world’s most iconic paintings and sculptures.
Art writer and curator James Payne brings a fresh and engaging approach to art history, combining storytelling, context and visual analysis to illuminate what makes each masterpiece truly great.
Each chapter explores not only the artwork itself but also the artist’s life and its place within their wider body of work. From Hilma af Klint’s spiritual abstractions to Claude Monet’s Water Lilies, Botticelli’s Birth of Venus and Georgia O’Keeffe’s Jimson Weed, Payne connects artistic innovation with the cultural moments that shaped it.
With 223 colour reproductions and clear, insightful writing, this book offers both newcomers and seasoned art lovers a deeper appreciation of how and why great art continues to inspire.
