Teenager interested in Art and Artists

[lidlicker]

Can anyone recommend a book for a teenager, who is interested in reading about Art and Artists?
I have looked in all the book shops and they appear to be either for the 5-11 age range or for adults.
Many thanks in advance.

When I was a teenager - a very long time ago!! - I remember being enthralled by The Agony and the Ecstasy by Irving Stone (based on the life of Michelangelo). He also wrote Lust for Life (about van Gogh) & Depths of Glory (Pisarro)

I'd also recommend Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier (about Vermeer)

Thank you all so much - lots to choose from.

This is just one book that DK publishes, but it's worth checking their website for other titles:
