Title overview

For freshman and sophomore courses in Art History Survey (1 or 2 semesters) and Art Appreciation.

Designed as a comprehensive supplement to Janson's History of Art, Sixth Edition, Hartt's Art, Fourth Edition, Gardner's Art Through the Ages, Eleventh Edition, and Stokstad's Art History, Second Edition — but also appropriate as a stand-alone brief reference text — this handbook defines the most common terms used in discussing the history of visual arts, relating them to specific works illustrated in these standard texts.
