The book serves as an introductory guide to understanding the significance and evolution of art across different cultures and time periods. It explores the development of artistic styles, particularly focusing on architecture, painting, and sculpture, tracing their origins from ancient civilizations to the more modern age. The beginning of this comprehensive work discusses the uniqueness of architecture as a constructive art, contrasting it with painting and sculpture, which are described as imitative arts. Clement introduces the reader to ancient or heathen architecture, diving into specific regions such as Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, and Persia. She emphasizes the grandeur of monumental structures, like the Great Pyramid and the architectural innovations present in these ancient societies, providing insights into their cultural and religious significance.
