Art history is the captivating exploration of human creativity through visual expressions across time and cultures. It delves into the creation, meaning, and evolution of art objects, encompassing painting, sculpture, architecture, decorative arts, drawing, printmaking, photography, and more. Art historians analyze these visual artifacts not just as aesthetic objects but as windows into the minds, societies, and beliefs of the people who produced them.
