This edition includes a table of parallel illustrations from various art history texts, additional iconographical entries, and updates on ancient, medieval, and Renaissance art. It features an expanded chronology of painters, sculptors, photographers, and architects, complete with phonetic pronunciations, and an index of defined terms and subjects. Serving as a comprehensive supplement to a major art history work, this handbook acts as a standalone reference, defining and explaining common terms and concepts in visual arts history. It contextualizes art terms, processes, and principles with references to over 1,200 illustrations. Key features include a dictionary of terms and processes, an extensive discussion on perceptual concepts and visual literacy fundamentals, a chronological overview of Christian subjects and their iconography, and a focus on Christian symbols and attributes of saints. Additionally, it provides a systematic treatment of media, techniques, processes, and visual principles beyond standard art survey texts, complemented by maps and line drawings to illustrate the concepts presented.
