ISBN: 9781440091506 出版年：2016 页码：381 John C Van Dyke Forgotten Books

HE Object of this series of text-books is to provide concise teachable histories of art for class-room use in schools and colleges. The limited time given to the study of art in the average educational institution has not only dictated the condensed style of the volumes， but has limited their scope of matter to the general features of art history. Archaeological discussions on special subjects and aesthetic theories have been avoided. The main facts of history as settled by the best authorities are given. If the reader choose to enter into particulars the bibliography cited at the head of each chapter will be found helpful. Illustrations have been introduced as sight-help to the text， and， to avoid repetition， abbreviations have been used wherever practicable. The enumeration of the principal works of a school， or period， and where they may be found， which follows each chapter， may be serviceable to trav elling students in Europe.
