Description of the book Understand Why This is a Masterpiece (new design): 
Reissue of the bestseller by Françoise Barb-Gall, art historian and lecturer at the Louvre School. In it, the author offers to decipher what the artist wanted to convey and... learn to understand painting. To do this, one must carefully study the artwork, trust one's eyes and feelings. This book thoroughly analyzes masterpieces of world painting, including "Spring" by Botticelli, "Moulin de la Galette" by Renoir, "The Persistence of Memory" by Dalí, "The Scream" by Munch, and "Madonna with Child and Saint Anne" by Da Vinci.
Reproductions printed on high-quality coated paper allow you to not miss any important detail.
You will learn: what the earrings symbolize in Vermeer’s painting "Girl with a Pearl Earring"; which gods and goddesses Botticelli depicted in the painting "Spring"; what creature is sleeping, hidden by clocks, in Dalí's painting "The Persistence of Memory".
You will figure out how artists manage to depict what cannot be described in words. And how to discern meanings where there are only abstract strokes and color spots.
At the end of each chapter, you will find interesting additions: artists' memories, historical context, features of style and composition.
This book will give you a key to understanding painting that you can use to explore other art forms independently. Follow the author, watch closely, and learn to analyze your impressions.
