As a term, art history (also history of art) 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".[2] Art history is not only a biographical endeavor.
