This reminds me so much of walking through the different ages at the National Gallery. The engraving manages to portray the different tastes of different times, with their biased viewpoints, yet still hold together the whole image with its use of line that follows the forms, crosshatches and shades. The difference is in the shape the line takes to show the contemporary drawing style of each painting and the compositional structure.
Means and ways of looking at this blog - no category is absolute; each and everything is not classified by every category; only when appropriate. I hope it is more of a starting point; each post gives links to another, whether to complete it, or for any other purpose. It is a little like an image based brainstorm, although without a clear overview. Alternatively it can be seen chronologically by post, although this may appear sporadic, which at times it is.
