Following on from the hugely popular Mesozoic Art, this magnificent new volume showcases 25 amazing artists whose work represents the very best of palaeoart.

Our knowledge of how dinosaurs and other extinct species looked is continuously evolving with each new palaeontological discovery, as is the dramatic art that depicts these ancient worlds. Palaeoartists now have access to more information than ever before, allowing them to achieve greater levels of accuracy in their work.

Using fossilised material and the latest scientific knowledge, palaeoartists visualise and recreate creatures from the prehistoric world - they put flesh on the bones of long-extinct species and their environments. It is through this imaginative artform that fossils can be brought to life in fresh, breathtaking detail.

Mesozoic Art II presents 25 new leading paleoartists who present life in the primordial past through a broad diversity of artistic styles and techniques, from traditional graphite pencils to cutting-edge digital art.

Arranged by portfolio, each piece is accompanied by an extended captions by the highly regarded palaeontologists and artists Steve White and Darren Naish.

The artwork featured in this stunning book offers so much more than images of dinosaurs: it also showcases the world they lived in, the other animals and plants that would have been a part of the species' ecosystem, and their place in the history of life on this planet.
