About this title

Review:

"Gardner's presents a narrative that runs like a thread of unity through the text." "I examined the options, and found Gardner's to be the best in giving the students the best images and the clearest discussion of both style and historical context." "What I particularly like about the Gardner is its flexibility for a variety of pedagogical/methodological/thematic approaches, which is due to the depth of its coverage of certain very pivotal figures/moments/issues in western art history." The superior quality of its photos and illustrations is one of the principal reasons that the Department of Art History has consistently used Art through the Ages. John Kenfield - Rutgers University Three strengths of Gardner's are: the choice of imagery discussed; the quality and size of the images, and the clarity; and detail of the discussion which includes a strong balance between style and history.
