The book analyzes the historical development of art through formal categories, or 'grammar,' focusing on the changing relationships between motifs, form, surface, and viewer perception across different historical periods, rather than just subject matter. It is considered a foundational text for formalist art history, and its translated edition by Jacqueline E. Jung made Riegl's complex work accessible to an English-speaking audience. The book is based on an 1897-1898 manuscript and 1899 lecture notes, originally published posthumously in German in 1966. This translated English edition includes the main manuscript and a second, more concise version from lecture notes. It organizes the history of art into three major periods: the 'contest with nature' through physical beauty (e.g., ancient art), the same contest through spiritual beauty (e.g., medieval art), and the reproduction of transitory nature (e.g., Renaissance and later). The book is considered a landmark work in art history, influencing generations of scholars, particularly those in formalist and formal-psychological approaches to art.

Januar 1858 in Linz; 17. Juni 1905 in Wien) war ein österreichischer Kunsthistoriker, Denkmalpfleger und Vertreter der Wiener Schule der Kunstgeschichte. 1894 wurde er außerordentlicher, 1897 ordentlicher Professor für Kunstgeschichte an der Universität Wien. 1902 bis 1905 war Riegl neben seiner Professur Generalkonservator der Zentralkommission für die Erforschung und Erhaltung der Kunst- und historischen Denkmale. Alois Riegl prägte für die Kunsttheorie den einflussreichen Begriff des Kunstwollens als definierende Kraft einer Stilepoche. Er wendete sich gegen eine an Werteurteilen orientierte Kunstgeschichtsschreibung und betonte die Bedeutung der damals als "Verfallszeiten" geltenden Epochen (Spätantike). Seiner Ansicht nach ist die antike Kunst Ausgangspunkt sowohl der frühmittelalterlichen wie auch der orientalischen Kunst. Einflussreich wurden auch Riegls Konzepte in Sachen Denkmalschutz. Ähnlich Georg Dehio in Deutschland plädierte Riegl gegen die im 19. Jahrhundert verbreitete "Perfektionierung" und den purifizierenden Weiterbau historischer Bauwerke (etwa gotischer Kirchen).
