The Annotated Mona Lisa is a great introduction to art history!
As good as I can be at certain things, I have to admit that I have absolutely no artistic talent. It’s not just that I am mediocre, I am terrible at it! I can’t dance, I can’t sing, I can’t paint, I can’t play an instrument, I can’t sculpt and my handwriting is illegible.
As I do appreciate art, despite not knowing anything about it, I felt I needed a primer to it. The Annotated Mona Lisa clearly met that need. It’s easy to read, organized chronologically and full of engaging anecdotes.
You can buy it at: http://www.amazon.com/Annotated-Mona-Lisa-Prehistoric-Post-Modern/dp/0836280059/sr=8-1/qid=1170283246/ref=pd_bbs_1/105-0679177-7650066?ie=UTF8&s=books

It is funny you talk about that book, i bought it one month ago and it changed the way i am conceiving art :-) but i am still far from taking over the art expert position at MoMA
