Art History Timelines


Oxford Art Online is an excellent resource for first learning about movements and artists. It is an excyclopedia like Wikipedia, but it is more reliable in the it was written by scholars.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History is a chronological, geographical, and thematic exploration of the history of art from around the world, as illustrated by the Museum's collection. It is an invaluable reference and research tool for students, educators, scholars, and anyone interested in the study of art history and related subjects. The Museum's curators, conservators, and educators research and write the Timeline, that continues to expand in scope and depth and reflect the most up-to-date scholarship.
