A History of Art for Beginners and Students: Painting, Sculpture, Architecture
A History of Art for Beginners and Students, published by Clara Erskine Clement Waters in 1887, is an introduction to painting, sculpture and architecture written for young readers and for adults coming to the subject for the first time. Clement surveys each art in turn from ancient Egypt, Assyria and Greece through Rome and the Middle Ages to the Italian Renaissance, the Dutch and Flemish schools, Spain, France, Germany, England and the United States, with short accounts of the leading artists and their principal works and many illustrations. The author had already published handbooks of the legends and symbols of art and a dictionary of painters, and she writes plainly and without technical vocabulary.
