Here is another link to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC - the timeline is a great place to start. Once you've chosen a time period and place (for example, 1400-1600 A.D., Europe, Florence and Central Italy) and click on it, an overview page will load with info on key people and events specific to that time and region. The Thematic Essays tab provides an incredible amount of information on a variety of subjects, again relating only to the area you've chosen - and likewise, the Works of Art and Index where you can search by subject or artist.
