The hustle and bustle of London and its changing landscape have provided a rich subject for the many artists who have visited or lived in the city. From recognisable views and busy streets to idyllic park scenes, this beautiful book features a selection of 100 stunning paintings of London from the seventeenth century until the present. With work from some of the world’s most influential artists (Canaletto, Turner, Constable, Pissarro, Monet, Kossoff and Auerbach) as well as contemporary artists such as David Hepher and Lisa Milroy, these images offer a glimpse through artists’ eyes at this much-loved city through the ages.
