Chapter by Chapter Revisions (The following list includes the major highlights of this new edition):
CHAPTER 1: PREHISTORIC ART
Expands upon the methods scholars (both art historians and anthropologists) use to understand artwork, including, for instance, feminist interpretations. Includes new monuments such as Skara Brae and Mezhirich. A new box explains dating techniques.
CHAPTER 2: ANCIENT NEAR EASTERN ART
This chapter is expanded to include a discussion of Jerusalem.
CHAPTER 3: EGYPTIAN ART
Now includes a tomb painting from the pre-Dynastic age, and a discussion of jewelry. A new box names the major Egyptian gods.
CHAPTER 4: AEGEAN ART
Improved images and a reconstruction of Mycenae enhance the discussion of Aegean art.
CHAPTER 5: GREEK ART
This chapter is tightened to allow space for longer discussion of Greek sanctuaries, and the inclusion of Hellenistic works outside of the Greek mainland, such as the Pharos at Alexandria. The issue of homosexuality in fifth-century Athens is addressed, as well as women’s roles in life and art. A new box deals with the issue of repatriation of works of art such as the Elgin marbles.
CHAPTER 6: ETRUSCAN ART
The range of artworks is increased to include, for instance, terracotta revetments and terracotta portraits.
CHAPTER 7: ROMAN ART
This chapter includes new interpretations such as the reidentification of the “Porticus Aemilia” as Rome’s Navalia or ship-shed. It also has been tightened to allow space for more Republican works (such as the terracotta pediment from Via di San Gregorio and the Praeneste mosaic) and a wider discussion of life in Pompeii. There is some rearrangement of art works to improve the chronological flow.
CHAPTER 8: EARLY CHRISTIAN AND BYZANTINE ART
A new section on early Jewish art is added, including three images of early synagogue wall paintings and mosaics (Dura Europos and Hammath Tiberias). Coverage of Late Byzantine art is increased, as is discussion of liturgical and social history.
CHAPTER 9: ISLAMIC ART
The relationship of Islamic art to early Jewish and Christian medieval art is accentuated.
CHAPTER 10: EARLY MEDIEVAL ART
Includes an expanded discussion and reorganization of Viking art, which is now placed later in the chapter.
CHAPTER 11: ROMANESQUE ART
Coverage of secular architecture is broadened to include the bridge at Puente la Reina on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela and a new section on the crusades and castle architecture.
CHAPTER 12: GOTHIC ART
This chapter is tightened to allow space for added focus on secular objects and buildings with the inclusion of a Guillaume de Machaut manuscript illumination and Westminster Hall from the royal palace in London. There is also expanded discussion of courtly art and royal iconography in later Gothic monuments.
CHAPTER 13: ART IN THIRTEENTH AND FOURTEENTH-CENTURY ITALY
Organization now places less emphasis on religious architecture. Siena’s Palazzo Pubblico is added. There is a more focused discussion of Tuscany, and a briefer treatment of Northern Italy and Venice. Images of key works of art, including Nicola and Giovanni Pisano and the Arena chapel are improved. Two maps in the chapter outline Italian trade routes and the spread of the plague in the 1340s.
