Art History
Emerging as a distinct discipline in the humanities in the late 19th century, the study of art history involves techniques for understanding style by comparing works of different periods and noting their differences. The study of art history is focused primarily on the "fine arts" of painting, sculpting, architecture, and related fields. Generally, Western art is interpreted through the four basic categories of ancient, medieval, Renaissance, and modern art. Although previously using the classical art of Greece as a positive standard, art historians now take a neutral approach to evaluating individual works, deeming all worthy of study.
