Art is a multifaceted term. In this "Visual Dictionary of Art Terms" we aim to cover some of its most basic and important aspects. Although the terms refer to different disciplines, the predominance of painting and sculpture is not accidental. With regard to architecture, although the dictionary is partly complementary to the "Visual Dictionary of Architectural Terms", we have collected the main elements related to art with a new, more schematic vision, while including new terms. In addition to the essential aspects related to painting, sculpture and architecture, other disciplines such as pottery, ceramics, heraldry, glyptics, goldsmithing, cabinetmaking, eboraria, engraving, etc. are also covered. Each term contains exhaustive information: definition, etymology, translation into English, French, German and Italian, semantic field, historical development, etc., and the visual elements, whether pictorial works, drawings, infographics or photographs, will help us to better understand the term. Although the set forms a basic compendium for students and professionals related to the field of art, it will also be useful for anyone interested in learning, understanding and enjoying art.
