Quick context: why artists matter in art history
Art history often uses artists as anchors for understanding wider changes in society, technology, and ideas—like the rise of perspective, the spread of print culture, or the shift from academic traditions to modern experimentation.
Knowing major artists also helps you place unfamiliar works: even when you don’t recognize a piece, you can infer likely period and influences from style, materials, and subject matter.
