About the book

This volume examines the ways pictures are interpreted, discussing the practices of interpretation that inform the modern discipline of art history in contrast to those that prevailed in earlier periods. As an introductory text on the traditions and principles of interpretation, the book explores key methods and shows how the personalities and backgrounds of particular art historians have contributed to the character of their writings.
