A Short History of Art (Classic Reprint)

John William Henry Walden

4.9/5 (34144 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Short History of Art In the following pages I have aimed at giving a readable sketch of the history of Art, with some indications of the causes and influences that have determined it. I have therefore avoided, as far as I could, giving mere lists of artists, without descriptions of their works. Many famous names are unavoidably omitted; but fuller descriptions are furnished of a few important works of art than are usually found in short treatises such as this. An elementary book like the present should, I hold, aim solely at exciting the interest of the reader, and inducing him to seek more thorough knowledge from the larger works of original research and monographs, which treat in detail the various periods here shortly summarized, and still more to study with intelligence the works of art to which he has access in our picture galleries, museums, and cathedrals.
