The supermodel did not arrive when Twiggy first donned false eyelashes; the concept began more than 100 years previously, with a young artists' model whose face captivated a generation. Saved from the drudgery of a working-class existence by a young Pre-Raphaelite artist, Lizzie Siddal rose to become one of the most famous faces in Victorian Britain and a pivotal figure of London's artistic world, until tragically ending her young life in a laudanum-soaked suicide in 1862. In the twenty-first century, even those who do not know her name always recognise her face: she is Millais's doomed Ophelia and Rossetti's beatified Beatrice. With many parallels in the modern-day world of art and fashion, this biography takes Lizzie from the background of Dante Rossetti's life and, finally, brings her to the forefront of her own.

History of Art introduces a new, chronological way of examining the major art movements of the Western world over the last two thousand years. It is the only book to examine the roots of art in prehistory and provide important examples of work from 240 leading artists in terms of their school, period, technique, and vision. No other history of art book shows the story of Western art unfolding like this. It is truly innovative in its approach as it allows the reader to see the development within specific artistic movements chronologically. In addition, the book provides accessible text detailing the significance of the featured artists and images, and can be used as a valued source book of some of the most famous images in Western art. Each artist is represented by a major work, which is accompanied by text explaining their impact on the development of Western art, as well as giving a brief history of their life and career.
