Emanuela Pulvirenti – architect, famous popularizer of art history and former author of "Il mondo alla finestra" for BUR – has created an ideal “world tour” among some of the most famous natural and artistic beauties of the planet through the most beautiful paintings of artists of every era, from Canaletto to Turner, from Corot to Monet, from Dalì to Matisse, from Kandinsky to Basquiat.
The result is a surprising itinerary among the wonders of the ancient and modern world, seen from the unique perspective of painters: a journey through space and time that allows us, for example, to witness the different phases of construction, destruction and reconstruction of the Parthenon over the centuries, to experience the mystical suggestion aroused by the Taj Mahal on painters of all origins, or even to sit under the Eiffel Tower together with artists such as Seurat, Chagall or Warhol. An unprecedented immersion in the history of art to discover backgrounds, stories and curiosities about some of the most beautiful places in the world that, thanks to the gaze of the artists, open up before us as if we were observing them for the first time.
