Seascapes: Looking at Paintings

    Looking at paintings is a series of books designed to present many different painters'views of a single subject.Here is a visual feast of paintings,each of which shows us something about what great artists see when they paint.
In Seascapes,Peggy Roalf leads readers on a personal gallery tour of nineteen favorite paintings of the sea and its surroundings.The paintings are as varied as the weather on the oceans of the world.From a seventeenth-century painting that shows the great warrior Ulysses entering a harbor during the Trojan War to paintings from the twentieth century showing the sea as a destructive force that is never truly mastered,each artist's vision and interpretation of the sea is unique.Respect for the power of the ocean is the only constant.
To see through the eyes of many of the world's greatest painters is to see with the imagination as well.Cbildren in the LOOKING AT PAINTINGS series is a book that inspires young readers to observe their world and to use their imagination to see like a painter.
