Publisher's Synopsis
Baroque is an artistic movement that originated in Italy in cities such as Rome, Mantua, Venice and Florence from the mid-16th century and ended in the mid-18th century. There is a different Baroque age depending on the field, whether intellectual, historical or artistic. Some critics see it as a cultural constant that returns throughout history as Eugenio d'Ors wrote.
This art succeeds and opposes the balanced art of the Italian Renaissance. Baroque art provokes astonishment by the size and complexity of the forms and the richness of the materials. Architecture, sculpture and painting come together to create a real spectacle through dizzying perspective and trompe-l'oeil effects. The artists seek dramatic and emotional effects by showing as examples the figures of saints, in martyrdom or in ecstasy.
