Полезные справочники выпущены издательствами Оксфордского университета (Oxford U.P.) и «Пингвин» (Penguin): Peter and Linda Murray. The Penguin Dictionary of Art and Artists (Harmondsworth, 1956; 6-е изд. 1989); John Fleming, Hugh Honour. The Penguin Dictionary of Decorative Arts (Harmondsworth, 1979; нов. изд. 1989); Nikolaus Pevsner.

Готовится к изданию 30-томный справочник Macmillan Dictionary of Art, в котором будут использованы новейшие данные об искусстве.

Для изучения истории искусства, конечно, недостаточно одного лишь чтения книг. Любитель искусства всегда стремится путешествовать, чтобы самому видеть памятники архитектуры и художественные произведения. Все путеводители просто невозможно перечислить, укажу некоторые из них: Companion Guides (Collins), Blue Guides (A. and C. Black), Phaidon Cultural Guides.

Приятных путешествий!

Книги обычно указываются здесь в той же последовательности, в какой в каждой из глав рассмотрено творчество художников и другие вопросы, подробнее анализируемые в данных книгах.
