Product Description
Have you ever regretted not having the time to take an art appreciation or survey course in college and wished you could somehow gain the knowledge you missed? Or found yourself wondering, even if you did take that course when you were younger, how much more your years of experience and maturity would have added to your appreciation of art's creative wonders? Or have you simply wished to indulge yourself in a feast for the eyes and mind, enjoying more than 800 images of the Western world's glorious heritage of painting, sculpture, architecture, and other examples of art's constantly evolving definition? In Art across the Ages, Professor Ori Z. Soltes has crafted a course in Western visual art that serves as both a mind-broadening survey and an essential introduction. It is designed to give anyone interested in Western art a firm familiarity with its basics, acquainting you with major artists and styles in various media and providing a broad foundation for deeper exploration. By giving you a ready grasp of the substance and significance of a vast range of artists and their work, along with a solid knowledge of how those artists and their work fit within art's continuum, this course will add immeasurably to your next visit to a museum or exhibition or simply enhance your pleasure in the art you encounter in your life.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2014Thoroughly enjoyed hearing and seeing this sweeping art history survey course with plenty of pictures and fascinating commentary by the author, one of Georgetown University's most interesting professors. Soltes takes nothing for granted and leads viewers through the what, where, when and why of art, mostly following the march through the centuries from prehistory to the 21st century. He connects the dots to show the continuity, transformation and rebirth of art through the ages. These are the DVDs to get if you always wanted to take an art history class in college but couldn't fit it in, or, if you are already an art enthusiast and want to see nuanced commentary on the iconic treasures of world art. I was almost scared off by the price, but found it well worth the investment once I bought it. Like with Shakespeare plays, I have come back over the years and watched it over again and still enjoy it. I watch relevant parts before trips to major museums or abroad and it really enhances the museum experience. Makes you feel like an insider, and old cold stones and paintings come alive.
