about the capsule history tables

The Capsule History of Western Art is summarized in three companion tables: 1) the Art Works Table, and 2) the Art Movements Table, and 3) the Artists Table. These three tables complement each other and should be consulted in combination whenever the visitor's information objectives warrant.

the Capsule history

The Muse Of Fine Arts is pleased to be able to offer visitors The Muse's Capsule History of Western Art. The History takes the form three interrelated searchable and sortable tables containing information about scores of artists, works, and movements in the Western Fine Arts tradition.

The works, movements, and artists tables may be searched, sorted, printed, and otherwise arranged for convenience. These table processing features help you:

  • Find and identify individual and groups of artists, their works, and the movements to which the works belong.
  • Analyze the structural underpinnings of evolutionary trends in Western art.
  • Assess the depth and breadth of Western man's artistic accomplishments, the persistence of his urge to create art, and the growth in his technical capacity to do so.

Schools of art and their descriptions are matters of opinion and judgment. Dates are approximate. BCE dates are indicated by a minus sign; dates not preceded by a minus sign are CE.

the art Works table

The Muse Of Fine Arts is pleased to offer you the Art Works Table. The Art Works Table identifies works by important or prominent artists in the Western art tradition and identifies the main art movement each work represents or expresses.

the art movements table

The Muse Of Fine Arts is pleased to offer you the Art Movements Table. The Arts Movements Table identifies the most significant and prominent arts movements that have arisen in the Western art tradition and the periods in which each movement occurred. It briefly describes the salient characteristics of each movement.

the artists table

The Muse Of Fine Arts is pleased to offer you the Artists Table. The Artists Table identifies the most significant and prominent artists in the Western art tradition and provides birth and death dates and nationality of each artist.

About the three tables

The Art Works Table, Art Movements Table, and Artists Table are three complementary and interrelated tables; they are intended to be used together:

  • The Art Works Table identifies the artist, names of works, and movements to which works belong.
    • To learn about an art movement's salient characteristics, consult the Art Movements Table.
    • To learn more about an artist, consult the Artists Table.
  • The Art Movements Table identifies and explains the salient characteristics of important and prominent arts movements.
    • To identify the artists and the works associated with art movements, consult the Art Works Table.
    • To learn more about an artist, consult the Artists Table.
  • The Artists Table contains artist's names, birth and death dates, and artist's nationality.
    • Nationality is the country with which the artist's production is most closely associated. This is usually the country of birth, but instead may be the country where the artist:
        • Lived throughout the longest portion of his life.
        • Produced his most prominent or successful works.
        • Produced the bulk of his work.
        • Became a naturalized citizen.
    • To learn more about the art movements with which an artist's works are associated, consult the Art Works Table and the Arts Movements Table.
