ART HISTORY III . OIL PAINTING FLOWER.

Although some of the books listed above attempt a global approach, they are universally strong in western art history. The books use representative examples from each era in order to create a story that blends changing styles with social history. The Western narrative begins with prehistoric art such as Stonehenge, before discussing the ancient world. The latter begins with Mesopotamia, then progresses to the art of Ancient Egypt, which then transitions to Classical antiquity. Classical art includes both Greek and Roman work. With the decline of the Roman Empire, the narrative shifts to Medieval art, which lasted for a millennium. The high intellectual culture of the Medieval period was Islamic, but the era also included Early Christian art, Byzantine art, Gothic art, Anglo-Saxon art, and Viking art. The Medieval era ended with the Renaissance, followed by the Baroque and Rococo. Sometimes another period, Mannerism, is inserted between Renaissance and Baroque, which is a visual hybrid. The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries included Neoclassicism, Romantic art, Academic art, and Realism in art. Art historians disagree when Modern art began, but it was either in the mid-eighteenth century with the artist Francisco Goya, the mid-nineteenth century with the industrial revolution or the late nineteenth century with the advent of Impressionism. The art movements of the late nineteenth through the early twenty first centuries are too numerous to detail here, but can be broadly divided into two categories: Modernism and Contemporary art. The latter is sometimes referred to with another term, which has a subtly different connotation, Postmodern art.

Although textbooks periodize Western art by movements, as described above, they also do so by century. Many art historians give a nod to the historical importance of Italian Renaissance and Baroque art by referring to centuries in which it was prominent with foreign terms. These include trecento for the fourteenth, quattrocento for the fifteenth, cinquecento for the sixteenth, seicento for the seventeenth, and settecento for the eighteenth.

The field of "art history" was developed in the West, and originally

dealt exclusively with European art history, with the High Renaissance

(and its Greek precedent) as the defining standard. Gradually, over the

course of the twentieth century, a wider vision of art history has

developed. This expanded version includes societies from across the

globe, and it usually attempts to analyze artifacts in terms of the

cultural values in which they were created. Thus, art history is now

seen to encompass all visual art, from the megaliths of Western Europe

to the paintings of the Tang Dynasty in China.

The history of art is often told as a chronology of masterpieces

created in each civilization in the world. It can thus be framed as a

story of high culture, epitomized by the Seven Wonders of the World,

which is somehow different from vernacular expressions. The latter can,

however, be integrated into art historical narratives, in which case

they are usually referred to as folk arts or craft. The more closely

that an art historian engages with these latter forms of low culture,

the more likely it is that they will identify their work as examining

visual culture or material culture, or as contributing to fields

related to art history, such as anthropology or archeology. In the

latter cases art objects may be referred to as archeological artifacts

The history of art usually refers to the history of the visual arts of painting, sculpture and architecture . It is the history of one of the fine arts, others of which are the performing arts and literature. It is also one of the humanities. The term sometimes encompasses theory of the visual arts, including aesthetics. Considered encyclopedically, the history of art is an attempt to survey art throughout human history, classifying cultures and periods by their distinguishing features. This is undertaken by people and institutions with diverging goals, but whose efforts interrelate, including: academic art historians, museum curators, auction house personnel, private collectors, and religious adherents. Given these agendas, it is unsurprising that there are many ways of structuring a history of art, as will be outlined below.
