 History of art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
History of art usually refers to the history of the visual arts.
Although some may think of art history as purely the study of European art history, the subject encompasses all art, from the megaliths of Western Europe to the paintings of the Tang dynasty in China.
Although ideas about the definition of art have changed over the years, the field of art history attempts to categorize changes in art throughout time and better understand how art shapes and is shaped by the outlooks and creative impulses of its practitioners.

 AP: Art History
AP Art History is designed to provide the same benefits to secondary school students as those provided by an introductory college course in art history: an understanding and enjoyment of architecture, sculpture, painting, and other art forms within historical and cultural contexts.
Art history increasingly emphasizes understanding works in context, considering such issues as patronage, gender, and the functions and effects of works of art.
An understanding of the elements of art, fundamental art historical terminology, and technical processes used in the production of art is basic to both college and AP courses.

Possibly the most burgled property in art history, a total of 45 paintings have been taken from this stately home in four raids between 1975 and 2002.
It was called the biggest art heist in history - and Italian workman Vincenzo Peruggia's theft made Leonardo da Vinci's portrait the most famous painting in the world.
Julian Radcliffe, chairman of the Art Loss Register, said such a heist "would probably be easier to do it when it was open to the public rather than at night when all the alarms were set".
