Hi @setimar! The Western world outlines the phase of art into 8:
These are :
1. Medieval art that includes early Christian art, Byzantine art, Norse Art and many more. This period covers a vast scope of time and place over 1000 years of history in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. It also includes major art movements and periods, national and regional art, genres, revivals, the artistic crafts and the artists themselves

There are many periods in art history, and periods with periods. It also depends on what part of the world you are looking at because art periods tend to go along with certain areas since art develops differently in different regions. For Western art, these are the periods you typically find:

-Medieval
-Renaissance
-Neoclassicism
-Romanticism
-Modern art
-Contemporary art

Within Medieval art (starting around the year 200) you get categories such as Celtic and Anglo-Saxon art, as well as Gothic art. Renaissance art contains all the Italian Renaissance and Early Netherlandish paintings. Neoclassicism has the Baroque and Rococo periods, and Romanticism is home to the Nazarene Movement and the Dusseldorf School.

Things are a bit blurry between Romanticism to Modern art, and they both straddle the line on the development of things like photography and Realism. Modern art (beginning in the late 19th century) contains Impressionism, Art Nouveau, Futurism and Cubism among many others. There is also quite a bit of overlap between Modern and Contemporary art, but many would count graffiti, photorealism and digital art as belonging to the later.

The most comprehensive list of art periods for every culture across the world in the Heilbrun Timeline of Art History, found on the website of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. There is a link to it in the sources below.
