online course to learn art history

Hey everyone, first of all I want to say that I’m new to reddit and its literally my first post(?). Please inform me if I did something wrong.

I want to learn the basics of history of art. I am a self-made digital artist but I feel like it is crucial for me to know more about it. Do you know any online courses or sources that are coherent and systematic and can teach me the basics? I want to focus on visual art and paintings.

Thanks for your help in advance!

When did the earliest NON-religious art appear?

An acquaintance told me that in Europe there was no secular or non-religious art before the Renaissance. From my long-ago art history classes, I recall that all prehistoric art was considered to have religious or supernatural subject matter. Please set me straight!
