'1000 Years of Swiss Art' is organized chronologically and "surveys the entire range of Swiss art through reproductions of masterworks of painting, sculpture, graphic art, and architecture, all particularly characteristic of Switzerland in an international context. In addition, Swiss art historians have written twenty-one essays in their special fields with a view toward composing a mosaic of Swiss art in its totality."--Dust jacket front lapel.
