| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. This is a Western art history guide. It examines the following periods of art: medieval, renaissance, mannerism, baroque, neoclassicism, romanticism, realism, modern art, and contemporary art. Western art is the art of European countries, and art created in the forms accepted by those countries. The influence of the art of the Classical period waxed and waned throughout the next two thousand years, seeming to slip into a distant memory in parts of the Medieval period, to re-emerge in the Renaissance, suffer a period of what some early art historians viewed as "decay" during the Baroque period, to reappear in a refined form in Neo-Classicism and to be re-born in Post-Modernism.
