Riassunto

"During the baroque period, architecture and the other fine arts were the instruments of a staging of "worldtheater" on a grand scale. The baroque art of the popes in Rome, the displays of power and opulence in the court of the Sun King, Louis XIV, and Dutch painting -they all reflect different aspects of the underlying tension

between pleasure in life and fear of death that was such a prominent feature of the baroque world view.

This volume portrays the entire span of the fine arts ofthe baroque era, from rich splendor to religious asceticism."

Product Description:

Almost 200 years of Baroque art are presented in striking images and thought-provoking text - capturing the theatrical pathos, illusionistic devices, and interplay of different styles that made 17th-century and 18th-century European culture extravagant, showy, and even pretentious. This is an in-depth study of moving works of art from various European countries that exposes the sensual beauty of these objects as well as their allegorical representation of religious beliefs.
