Janson's History of Art is still the best comprehensive survey of art history. Taking the student from ancient times when work was ceremonial, it covers the masters (Michelangelo, DaVinci, El Greco, Rembrandt, et al), it also addresses lesser known contemporaries of the greats. An excellent text for any beginning student of art history or one looking for an introduction to art appreciation.

This was a text book for Art History and I must confess it's the first time I've fallen madly in love with a textbook! This book is brilliant, informative, beautiful and delightful. The stories will inspire you to run off in a million directions to chase down OTHER fascinating facts unearthed by the stories in these pages. Buy it! Buy some for gifts! Enough from me, get reading!

The fifth, revised edition of this classic remains the essential survey of western art. Anthony Janson deserves credit for updating and improving, but not changing, his father's original intention: to introduce students and general readers to the great achievements of western art from prehistory to (in its updated form) post-modernism in a highly perceptive, but friendly fashion. I am particulary relieved by the text's continued foundation in historical evidence rather than the ideology of the moment. Unlike a recent competitor survey which misleads the reader to believe that Renissance art began in northern Europe rather than in Italy (particularly Florence), Janson's text remains on solid scholarly ground. This book belongs on all art lovers shelves, be they students, art appreciators, or even historians. Magnificent color plates and the slipcased edition a real bonus!
