A celebration of the best in British art, this new book highlights the work of arguably Britain's finest painters in the traditional vein:J.M.W. Turner, George Stubbs, John Constable, Thomas Gainsborough, John Atkinson Grimshaw and John Singer Sargeant. Each work represented here demonstrates the loving detail, passion and precision which characterises much of British art. The subjects vary enormously, from views of Venice to watermills, castles, lanes and forests, but the attention to detail is the same and enduring popular appeal is common to them all.
