In your journey, you may come across artworks that appear similar; however, it is highly unlikely that you will encounter artists who work in the same manner. When presented with two artists, how do we effectively compare and contrast them? Instead of stating our opinions on the artists and expressing who we believe is better or worse, we focus on analyzing their differences identifying similarities, and recognizing the influence their art has had on society.

Only 27 women are represented in current edition of H.W. Janson’s survey, History of Art—up from zero in the 1980s. • From 16–19th centuries, women were barred from studying the nude model, which formed the basis for academic training and representation.
