From Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man and Botticelli’s Venus to Jeff Koons’ balloon dog, the subjects found on the mug illustrate particularly pivotal moments in art history, all of which are curated chronologically. This clever arrangement ensures that you can easily trace the evolution of the Western art world while you wait for your coffee to brew

Featuring a colourful collage comprising 24 details, the Brief History of Art Mug covers over 15,000 years of Western art history. While this may seem like an impossible feat, The Unemployed Philosophers Guild has been strategic with their selections.
