This monograph of Jeroen Krabbé's painting by Ruud van der Neut acts as retrospective of Jeroen's life as a painter. Following successful exhibitions in museums as well as galleries in the Netherlands, Krabbé's first international presentation of his painitngs was at Francis Kyle Gallery in 1993. Krabbé being an insatiable traveller, the book is split into sections according to his many journies, each bursting with full colour images of his oil painitngs. The publication also features a preface by Francis Kyle.

Also available is a limited Deluxe edition of Jeroen Krabbé: Painter which is numbered and signed by the artist and contains an original numbered and signed lithograph entitled Italian landscape

The richest story of art ever told …

• Charts the whole history of art from the earliest carved stone to the latest media
• Takes a truly global picture, connecting different cultures across time and space
• Hundreds of works are discussed and illustrated, showing how art uniquely reflects the world in which it was produced

Julian Bell has excitingly chosen a global perspective, setting up juxtapositions that will challenge and enlighten readers: dancing bronze figures from southern India, Romanesque sculptures, Baroque ceilings and Persian manuscripts are discussed side by side as extraordinary testaments to our universal creative instinct.

With an insider’s knowledge and an unerring touch, Bell draws these diverse strands into a beautifully written, lucid and compelling account.

Both a perfect introduction to wider art history and a glimpse inside the artistic mind, this groundbreaking narrative will become a touchstone for a new generation of readers.

'Dazzling … daring … Bell is one of the best art writers around. He knows how to look and what it is painters and sculptors do … He is pithy but rarely glib … a beautifully crafted journey through the millennia and across the oceans’ - RA Magazine

'An admirable, thoughtful and surprisingly readable text …
I would recommend the book extremely strongly … the perfect introductory text … thought-provoking and cogent, and free of academic jargon’ – Charles Saumarez Smith, The Times
