ENCHANTED HISTORY OF FANTASY ILLUSTRATION HC

For hundreds of years artists have been inspired by the imaginative potential of fantasy. Unlike science fiction, which is based on fact, fantasy presents an impossible reality - a universe where dragons breathe fire, angels battle demons, and magicians weave spells.  Written by leading historians of the field, Enchanted traces the development of fantasy art from Old Masters through Golden Age illustrators to classic cover artists. More than 150 key works-including paintings, prints, drawings, and digital art-are illustrated in vibrant color, many at full-page size.
