The Art of Combat

The beautifully illustrated book 'The Art of Combat' by Richard Taylor introduces more than 30 aviation and military paintings, which have been published as limited edition prints plus many new drawings. Most of the paintings have a dedicated chapter to themselves in which the artist describes the history behind the images and how each painting came into existence. The impressive array of work contained within these pages will delight the thousands of collectors around the world who share a passion for classic warbirds of former times, and a love of fine aviation and military art as exemplified by the talent of Richard Taylor.

It’s hardly surprising that Richard Taylor became a professional artist. His father is Robert Taylor, regarded as the finest aviation and maritime painter of his generation. For the past few years, however, Richard has been quietly carving out his own niche in the world of aviation and military art and is seen as one of the industry’s most exciting artists. In this superb hard cover first edition, with 128 pages packed with beautifully reproduced colour plates and stunning pencil drawings, the artist takes us through the stories behind his much admired combat paintings.
