1. You might check in you local library for some good famous painters in art. Also, you can check this site out online: www.art.glencoe.com www.glencoe.com/student
2. This is probably the best written book on the subject (see reviews) It comes in paperback A World History of Art, Hugh Honour, John Fleming http://www.amazon.co.uk/World-History-Art-Hugh-Honour/dp/1856693155#reader_1856693155 It is a good book to refer to - to have as a background - when you want to know about a famous painting like Mona Lisa, Picasso's Guernica, to see what period they come from etc. Here is a book featuring famous paintings: Usborne Book of Famous Paintings http://www.amazon.com/Usborne-Book-Famous-Paintings/dp/0794525423
