Product Description

Synopsis
This is an illustrated panorama of building in Europe from the early-17th century to the early years of the 18th century - a time during which building achieved an unparalleled unification of the arts of painting, sculpture, architecture, landscape and urban planning. The Baroque era was characterized by the concentration of power in a sovereign or related figure of authority. Artists and architects had to reflect this new exaltation of power in their work, be it in palaces, private residences, public buildings or churches. Beginning with essays by an international selection of scholars, this volume includes the full catalogue of the accompanying exhibition, with hundreds of illustrations of architectural models, paintings, drawings, prints and medals.
