Summary: The Authority on Art
Comment: This beautiful volume has been the standard textbook in Art history for many decades. Continued by Janson's son, this book has benefited from years of editing and is quite up-to-date. The size is what one would expect for a volume covering millennia of Western Art. I find the large format of the book useful and the quality of the paper excellent. Of course, the most important thing perhaps about an art book is the illustrations. This book contains thousands of beautiful full-color illustrations of the most important masterpieces. By necessity to accommodate the text and the large number of photos, many of the photos are smaller in size than one would desire. Still I would go for covering a larger number of masterpieces than for a fewer number with larger photos.
I think this book strikes a good balance between textual description and devoting space for the photos. Other art books have so much text one wonders where is the art. Still the book is voluminous. I covered the second half in a 1-semester Art history course and quickly fell behind in the reading. I suggest for the eager student to get a head start and begin reading this book over the summer in order not to fall behind. The great thing about this volume is that, long after my class was over, this book is still on my bookshelf serving as a useful reference as well as a key to the beautiful world of art.
