    About this ebook

    Art history is all about challenging the creative side of yourself,
    in inspiring you to find beauty in all forms. Since the existence
    of this world, mankind have known and practiced art in
    different styles. May it be the crude drawings and paintings of
    the caveman or the masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci. Art
    history spans the entire account of the human race, right from
    the primeval times to the 21
    st century.
    It is the study of objects of art and the ancient style, design
    and genre that they have been made in. This includes
    paintings, sculptures, architectures even furniture and other
    decorative like ceramics and many more. Art History embraces
    various methods to study the works of art and architecture.
    The field of art is much easier to understand when divided
    into three parts, which is the specialists, the critics and the art
    historians.
    The part played by the art critics is very imperative and
    crucial, reason being they are the ones who help in establishing
    a comparative artistic value to the piece of work with respect
    to the works of others of the same genre. They have the
    authority to sanction an entire new style or a movement or
    philosophy of art and art theory, which is apprehensive with
    the nature of art. There is another department of study known
    as, study of Aesthetics and it majorly deals in investigating the
    problem of the transcendent and defining the quintessence of
    beauty. On the other hand, Art History has nothing to do with
    any of these.
    Art historians use historical methods to find answers to a
    historical piece of art, to questions such as: How did the artist
    inspire to create the particular work?, who were the
    supporters?, Who was the teacher?, who were the spectators?,
    who were the followers?, what historic events forced the artist's
    work?, what effects did the art create socially and politically?.
    Many questions like such arise for each piece of art, the art
    historians' work is to find those answers. It is however,
    uncertain whether or not questions like these would get a
    satisfactory answers to it.
    This book is on a revitalizing and awe inspiring revelation
    about art history the study of Art History. The meaning of it,
    and the methods used to study the artefacts by the art
    historians. How it came to improve in the developing years and
    different eras.
