This comprehensive Afrikaans-language volume, titled Kuns-Waardering (Art Appreciation), provides an expansive historical overview of art from prehistoric eras through to the classical and medieval periods. Written by A.S.J. Hattingh and published by Perskor, the text explores significant milestones in Egyptian, Greek, and Roman architecture and sculpture, as well as early Christian mosaics and cathedral design. It serves as a valuable reference for students and collectors of art history with a specific focus on Afrikaans academic literature. The book is in fair to good vintage condition; the dust jacket shows noticeable shelf wear, including some chipping, while the internal pages remain securely bound and clean with clear, well-preserved illustrations.
