A Glossary of Art
The Glossary section introduces key terms and definitions used by Antiqon to describe and attribute artworks — including paintings, sculptures, jewelry, porcelain, and decorative objects. It offers precise professional language that reflects the characteristics, origin, and authenticity of each piece.
Special attention is given to artistic styles and movements — from Gothic and Baroque to Art Nouveau and Conceptual Art — helping you understand the influence of schools, eras, and the traits of both named and anonymous creators.
