Baroque: Architecture, Sculpture, Painting

4.1/5 ( ratings)

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. An in-depth study of moving works of art from various European countries exposes the sensual beauty of these objects as well as their allegorical representation of religious beliefs. Black-and-white and color photos. 11" x 12 1/2".

Pages: 502

Format: Hardcover

Publisher: Konemann

Release: April 28, 1998
