N2  - Entries consist mostly of individuals: religious, historical, and mythological.  Literary characters and their authors are also included, as are themes of art- historical relevance, symbols, attributes, and personifications.  Many of the works featured communicate important messages through personification- the embodiment of an abstract concept or quality in human form.  Each chapter explains the significance and meaning of key symbols and figures within a major subject area of Western art.

After each group of key paintings comes a thematic reference section for the subject area in question, with major symbols and figures highlighted and explained
