Eine Einführung

The standard work for students and teachers of art history: a determination of the subject of the field is followed by a presentation of the means and methods of the art historian and finally a look at the relationship to the neighbouring disciplines. With numerous further references and reading tips the volume is more than just an ‘introduction’ into the subject for art history students. For this seventh edition all articles were reviewed, some revised and updated with current literature references.
