The 1995 edition of History of Art by H.W. Janson is a landmark survey of Western art, widely considered one of the most influential and accessible introductions to the field. It presents a comprehensive and richly illustrated account of painting, sculpture, and architecture from prehistoric times to the late 20th century, focusing on the cultural and historical contexts in which artworks were produced.
The text is organized into major chronological sections—The Ancient World, The Middle Ages, The Renaissance and Baroque, and The Modern World—with a postscript addressing non-Western art traditions such as Oriental and Pre-Columbian works. Each section provides detailed discussions of significant artistic movements, individual artists, and the evolution of styles and techniques. The 1995 edition continues Janson’s approach of pairing narrative clarity with extensive visual documentation, featuring over 1,200 illustrations (many in color) that trace art’s development from cave paintings to modern abstraction.
