The Master and His Apprentices:  Art History from a Christian Perspective

This page is for discounted hardcover textbooks, when available. Occasionally, we receive books from our printer that have damaged or misprinted covers — typically dented corners from shipping, although this sale page could also include scratched covers or issues with the color quality on the cover. The inside of these textbooks is not affected. Due to these minor cosmetic issues, we are making these textbooks available here for $50 OFF the regular retail price.

The Master and His Apprentices: Art History from a Christian Perspective hardcover textbook contains over 600 images across 380 reader-friendly pages.

When the textbook is combined with the companion Teacher Guide (sold separately), they form a complete 1-credit elective course for high school students — whether homeschooled or in private Christian schools. However, this is also a great read for adults interested in art appreciation!

The textbook provides a  college-level overview of art history, beginning with Creation and God as the Master artist. Periods covered include the Ancient Near East, Ancient Egyptian, Aegean, Early Greek, Etruscan, Roman, Medieval & Islamic, Early Christian & Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, Proto-Renaissance, Early/High Italian Renaissance, Northern Renaissance, and Baroque. Two additional chapters cover modern works and non-Western artwork.

Furthermore, this family-friendly resource does not include nudity or other objectionable material. With The Master and His Apprentices, you will literally SEE how art, archeology, and the Bible line up in this fascinating exploration of people, places, world events, and the incredible art that remains for us to enjoy!
