"Fiero's textbooks are generally sufficient for the beginning student of art history. There are several nice points such as excerpts from philosophical writings or the author's commentary on the interplay of art and politics or religion. However, there are some serious flaws. The indices are sparse and not helpful at all when reviewing the material; artists' names, art movements, key terms and techniques are often omitted. The format of splitting the text into multiple smaller books is a tremendous hindrance when the author references paintings or sculpture that appear in the other books. So overall, I would recommend seeking another text."

"Of course I am reading this for Humanities, but I figured that it IS the book I am currently reading. It is actually a very good book and is about the Baroque period as it relates to history and the transition from the Renaissance."
