"Art History gives today's readers cultural and social context for art along with visual explanations of art's special qualities and particular vocabularies. Its narrative tells the many-sided story of art, starting with the earliest prehistoric paintings and sculpture through today's wildly varying works in new mediums." "In addition to offering an outstanding collection of color illustrations. Art History features maps, chronologies, and scores of labeled line drawings and architectural plans. Special essays called "The Object Speaks" offer insights on topics such as authenticity, patronage, and artistic intention." "Thoroughly updated to reflect the latest in scholarship, this revised Second Edition features even more works in color and more newly cleaned or restored works. Many works of art are completely new to the book. More attention has been paid to the art and culture of the Islamic world and specifically the Ottoman Empire."--BOOK JACKET.

The most student-friendly, contextual, and inclusive survey is now personalized, digital, and mobile for today's students. Art History, 5/e continues to balance formal analysis with contextual art history in order to engage a diverse student audience. Authors Marilyn Stokstad and Michael Cothren, both scholars as well as teachers, share a common vision that survey courses should be filled with as much enjoyment as learning, and that they should foster an enthusiastic, as well as an educated, public for the visual arts. This revision is the strongest and most comprehensive learning program for measuring student progress and improving student success in attaining the outcomes and goals of the art history survey course. Not only does the text address four overarching goals of the survey course, the new MyArtsLab further develops and reinforces these outcomes and skills with market-leading learning tools such as personalized study plans for each student and multimedia assets geared towards addressing different learning styles and abilities, such as chapter audio, student videos, Closer Looks, architectural panoramas and much more.
