This anthology of readings related to Western art history explains
specific works of art illustrated in Janson's History of Art and De
la Croix and Tansey's Gardner's Art Through the Ages in terms of
the ideas, beliefs, and concerns of the people and cultures who
created the art. It brings a new understanding of art because it
shows the social and cultural basis of major works of art through
history. The ten sections are Ancient Near East; Egyptian; Aegean;
Greek; Etruscan; Roman; early Christian, Byzantine, and Islamic;
early Medieval; Romanesque; and Gothic. The readings have been
drawn from many areas of intellectual and social history, including
religion, philosophy, literature, science, economics, and law. Each
selection is preceded by an introductory note, which discusses the
readings in terms of its subject and theme, its source and usage,
and its relevance to the study of the work of art.
