Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History
Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History
The Met’s Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History pairs essays and works of art with chronologies, telling the story of art and global culture through the Museum’s collection.
The Timeline presents a thematic,
chronological, and geographical exploration of global art history
through The Met collection. It is a reference, research, and teaching
tool conceived for students and scholars of art history. It is
authored by The Met’s experts, and currently comprises more than 1,000
essays, close to 7,600 works of art, 300 chronologies, and 3,700
keywords. It is regularly updated and enriched to provide new
scholarship and insights on the collection.
The Timeline is structured with four components. Essays
focus on specific themes in art history, including artistic movements
and periods, archaeological sites, empires and civilizations, recurrent
themes and concepts, media, and artists. Works of Art
celebrate human creativity from around the world and from all eras, and
are contextualized chronologically, geographically, and thematically. Chronologies
provide a linear outline of art history by geographical region. Each
chronology includes up to ten representative works of art, a timeline,
an overview, and key events. Keywords—categorized
by art movement and style, artists and makers, geography (present-day
nation states and historical regions), time period, material and
technique, object, and subject matter—further connect chronologies,
essays, and works of art.
