Rick Steves' Europe 101 History and Arts for Traveller : Medieval to Modern
AD. 500: Rome shatters into a thousand kingdoms. See how Europe pieces itself back together: the castles of the Dark Ages, the grandeur of Romanesque churches, the soaring arches and stained glass of the Gothic style, and the rise of cities and trade that would bring the classical world’s “rebirth” in the Renaissance.
Europe's new ideas in religion, exploration, and politics spawned some of the world’s greatest art treasures — from Michelangelo’s "David" to Botticelli’s "Venus."
When France erupts in Revolution, the modern world is born. Art styles follow the march of history: Neoclassical artists celebrate democracy while passionate Romantics champion the individual.
