Britain has one of the world's finest collections of Western art.

From Raphael to Reynolds, from Botticeill to Bacon, amazing paintings grace the walls of our galleries, museums, historic houses and palaces.

Neil MacGregor has set out to demonstrate the richness of the paintings that this country enjoys.

The book is arranged by theme as opposed to chronology, identifying the major themes that have inspired artists all over the world for many centuries.

There is also a richly illustrated chronology of artists complete with biographical notes and where they can be seen in Britain as well as a comprehensive guide to the Galleries of England, Scotland and Wales.
