This new title in the highly regarded Art & Ideas series
presents a thorough introduction to the Baroque and Rococo styles.
Encompassing architecture, interior design, furniture, ceramics,
garden landscaping and theatrical spectaculars, as well as the
masterpieces of this prolific period in the Fine Arts, these styles
were global and had enormous impact on the history of art. Gauvin
Bailey clarifies the essence of the styles and examines their
complexities and contradictions, and their applications against the
backdrop of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Europe, Latin
America and Asia. With 250 illustrations, well-known sculptures by
Bernini, paintings by Caravaggio and Rembrandt, and some of the
most famous buildings in the world are set in their creative milieu
with succinct analysis and broad clarity. Lesser known examples
from across the world demonstrate how the aesthetic trends of the
styles were concurrent throughout continents, and enlightens and
refreshes the implications of the terms.
