CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS HANDOUT
Contextual analysis can be helpful in understanding how a work of art is part of its time.
Using contextual analysis, an art historian examines how a work of art was perceived or received
in its time, how it is perceived today, or at any other time in history.
Art is not made in a vacuum. It is often influenced or affected by social, political,
economic, and religious circumstances. Art can be both the result of change and an agent of
change within that same culture.
It is important to consider parties involved in the creation, use, and viewing of the
work—which can include artist, patron and viewers. Works of art should also be considered
according to their intended and eventual use or placement. It is also important to consider our
own assumptions about art.
Questions to consider asking when using contextual analysis
1. Creation, use, and viewing of the artwork—the patron, artist, and viewers:
o Who were the patron(s), artist(s), viewers?
o What sorts of records did the artist leave about the creation of this work? Did the
artist say anything about his her intentions in creating the work? Were other artists or
workshop assistants involved?
o What were the patron’s motives in sponsoring this work? To what extent did the
patron participate in its creation? What does the contract for the work or
correspondence about it reveal? Was the patron acting individually, or on behalf of an
institution?
o Who was able to see the work? Under what circumstances? What was the response of
contemporary viewers to this work?
2. Addressing the physical work of art, its location, and use:
o When was the work made?
o Where was it originally located?
o In what rituals was this work used or seen?
o Does the work make use of rare and/or costly materials? Does it include materials
that have either a ritual or symbolic value? Are they new or innovative in some way?
o Are the artist’s techniques new or innovative in some way? Was there any particular
significance in the choice of techniques?
Revised 20200313
3. Larger social issues presented by the work of art:
o What is the subject? Why would the artist, patron, or viewer be interested in a
depiction of this subject?
o Was this a new or innovative subject, or a new treatment of a familiar subject? If so,
what prompted the change? If not, what was the motivation for conservatism?
o What political, religious, and/or social messages are being conveyed through the
subject matter or artistic style of this work?
o Was this a new or innovative artistic style? If so, what prompted the change?
Revised 20200313
FORMAL ANALYSIS HANDOUT
“Formal analysis doesn’t mean simply describing what you see in a work of art,
although description is part of it. It means looking at the work of art and trying to
understand what the artist wants to convey.”
D’Alleva, Look!, p. 27
