  • Art history has historically been understood as the academic study of objects of art in their historical development and stylistic contexts, i.e. genre, design, format, and look. This includes the "major" arts of painting, sculpture, and architecture as well as the "minor" arts of ceramics, furniture, and other decorative objects. The historical backbone of the discipline is a celebratory chronology of beautiful creations funded by upper class men in western Europe. Such a "canon" remains prominent, as indicated by the selection of objects present in art history textbooks. Nonetheless, since the mid-20th century there has been an effort to re-define the discipline to be more inclusive of non-Western art, art made by women, and vernacular creativity. As a term, Art history encompasses several methods of studying the visual arts; in common usage referring to works of art and architecture. Aspects of the discipline overlap. As the art historian Ernst Gombrich once observed, "the field of art history [is] much like Caesar's Gaul, divided in three parts inhabited by three different, though not necessarily hostile tribes: (i) the connoisseurs, (ii) the critics, and (iii) the academic art historians". As a discipline, art history is distinguished from art criticism, which is concerned with establishing a relative artistic value upon individual works with respect to others of comparable style, or sanctioning an entire style or movement; and art theory or "philosophy of art", which is concerned with the fundamental nature of art. One branch of this area of study is aesthetics, which includes investigating the enigma of the sublime and determining the essence of beauty. Technically, art history is not these things, because the art historian uses historical method to answer the questions: How did the artist come to create the work?, Who were the patrons?, Who were his or her teachers?, Who was the audience?, Who were his or her disciples?, What historical forces shaped the artist's oeuvre, and How did he or she and the creation, in turn, affect the course of artistic, political, and social events? This is not to say that art history is only a biographical endeavor. In fact, art historians often root their studies in the close scrutiny of individual objects. They thus attempt to answer in historically specific ways, questions such as: What are key features of this style?, What meaning did this object convey?, How does it function visually?, Did the artist meet their goals well?, What symbols are involved?, and Does it function discursively?
  • El estudio de la historia del arte es la disciplina académica cuyo objeto son las obras de arte en su desarrollo histórico y contexto estilístico (género, diseño, formato y apariencia), y los artistas en su contexto cultural y social. Mediante diversos métodos de estudio estudia fundamentalmente las artes visuales, y menos frecuentemente también otras bellas artes, artes industriales y oficios artísticos. En una definición amplia, los estudios de historia del arte incluyen la crítica de arte y la teoría del arte (expresión de la estética y de su evolución histórica -historia de la estética-); de un modo restringido, se identifican con la historiografía del arte o de la historia del arte, es decir, con la rama de la historiografía que se ocupa de la producción historiográfica de los historiadores del arte, científicos cuya ciencia es la historia del arte, una ciencia social derivada de la propia historia. Ernst Gombrich observó que el campo de la historia del arte se parece a la Galia de César, dividida en tres partes habitadas por tribus diferentes, aunque no necesariamente hostiles: los "connoisseurs" [conocedores, aficionados], los críticos y los historiadores de arte académicos El imposible deslindamiento de estos campos; y la estrecha vinculación entre intereses económicos, modas intelectuales y juicios estéticos dependientes del gusto artístico; hacen que el problema de la objetividad sea mucho más agudo en los estudios de historia del arte que en otros campos de la historiografía o de las ciencias sociales, siendo éstas ya de por sí más subjetivas que las ciencias físico-naturales. El lenguaje utilizado en parte de la producción literaria que trata sobre arte, en ocasiones tiende a descuidar el rigor formal y la precisión metodológica propia de los textos científicos, en beneficio de la propia calidad estética de lo escrito, o cae en vicios como la hipérbole (ponderación exagerada de las cualidades o búsqueda de parangones, similitudes y relaciones improbables) y la mistificación (ocultamiento, falseamiento o incluso invención de datos).
  • Taidehistoria on historian tutkimuksen alue, joka tutkii näköaistein aistittavaa taidetta sekä siihen suoranaisesti liittyviä ilmiöitä. Taidehistorian alaan kuuluvat muun muassa kuvataiteet, arkkitehtuuri, taideteollisuus, taiteen instituutiot, miljöökysymykset, taidekäsityö sekä myös historiallisesti muuttuvat taidekäsitykset ja -teoriat. Taidehistoria on nykyään laajentunut tutkimaan aikaisemmin lähinnä vain kuvataiteiden ja arkkitehtuurin tutkimuksen ohella myös muita visuaalisen kulttuurin ilmiöitä. Suomessa taidehistoriaa voi opiskella muun muassa: Avoin yliopisto (Turku) Helsingin yliopisto Jyväskylän yliopisto Lapin yliopisto Oulun yliopisto Tampereen yliopisto Turun yliopisto Åbo Akademi
  • L'histoire de l'art est la discipline qui a pour objet l'étude des œuvres dans l'histoire, et du sens qu'elles peuvent prendre. Elle étudie également les conditions de création des artistes, la reconnaissance du fait artistique par un public, ainsi que le contexte spirituel, culturel, anthropologique, économique et social de l'art.
  • Kunsthistorie er en akademiske studie av kunstobjekter i deres historiske utvikling og stilistiske sammenheng (sjangre, formgivning, format og utseende). I tillegg er kunsthistorie generelt forskningen på kunstnere og deres kulturelle og sosiale bidrag til samfunnet. Kunsthistorie kan defineres som utviklingen innen de forskjellige former for kunst fra oldtiden til i dag. Med forskjellige former for kunst menes tradisjonelt maleri, arkitektur og skulptur, men det er også vanlig å inkludere fotografi, design og andre uttrykksformer. Faget kunsthistorie omfatter også kulturminnevern og byplanlegging. Studiet av kunsthistorie inngår også som del av andre fag, spesielt arkeologi. Som begrep består kunsthistorie (som også er kunstens historie) av flere metoder i studiet av visuelle kunstobjekter som strekker seg vidt til en rekke disipliner som overlapper blant annet kunstkritikk og kunstteori. Ernst Gombrich har observert at «feltet kunsthistorie er som Cæsars Gallia, delt i tre deler bebodd av tre ulike, skjønt ikke nødvendigvis fiendtlige stammer (i) kunstpublikumet, (ii) kritikerne, og (iii) akademiske kunsthistorikere» . Som fagdisiplin er kunsthistorie skilt fra kunstkritikk, som er opptatt av å etablere en relativ kunstnerisk verdi på kunstneriske enkeltverker sammenlignet med andre verker av sammenlignbar stil; og kunstteori som er opptatt av kunsten grunnleggende vesen, og er mer beslektet med estetiske undersøkelser av blant annet det gåtefulle i det opphøyde og skjønnhetens essens. Teknisk sett er kunsthistorie ikke dette ettersom kunsthistorikere benytter historiske metoder for besvare spørsmål som: Hvordan skapte kunstneren kunstverket? Hvem var patronene og kundene? Hvem var kunstnerens lærere? Hvem var publikumet? Hvem var kunstnerens disipler? Hvilke historiske krefter formet kunstnerens verker? Og hvordan påvirket eller endret kunstneren eller kunstverket de kunstneriske, politiske og sosiale hendelser?
