Description
Follow in the footsteps of some of the world’s most famous painters in this fascinating work from the Journeys of Note series.
Some

From

cultural tours and
sojourns in the finest hotels, this book explores
30 influential journeys taken by artistic greats and reveals the repercussions of those travels on the painters’ personal lives and the broader cultural landscape.
Award-winning author Travis Elborough brings each of these trips to life with
fascinating insights into the stories behind the creation of some of the world’s most famous paintings, including
Henri Matisse’s vivid paintings of Morocco,
Katsushika Hokusai’s woodblock prints of Mount Fuji in Japan,
Marianne North’s paintings of India and
