The Annotated Mona Lisa: A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to Post-Modern by Andrews McMeel Publishing 
Like music, art is a universal language. Although looking at works of art is a pleasurable enough experience, to appreciate them fully requires certain skills and knowledge." --Carol Strickland, from the introduction to The Annotated Mona Lisa: A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to Post-Modern
