For Art History style period courses on Baroque Art.

Yet the shared principles, concerns and attitudes of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries created a kind of internationalism that justifies a survey of the era as a whole." "Traditional surveys of the period divide their material strictly by countries and chronological periods. By contrast, Vernon Minor looks at the prevalent themes of Baroque and Rococo artistic production through the lens of the dominant institutions of the day. The ideologies of the Counter-Reformation Church, the court of Louis Quatorze and the mercantile economy of the Calvinist Dutch are implicit in much of the painting, sculpture and architecture of the epoch." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Baroque & Rococo: idea & image; Setting the stage: social, cultural, & artistic institutions; The Baroque church: setting for mystery, propaganda, & worship; Sacred interiors: papal tombs, altarpieces, & ceiling paintings; Visual rhetoric: styles in the Baroque & Rococo; The "minor arts": portraits, still lifes, & genre painting; Landscapes & views: depictions of the natural & manmade world; Town & country planning: Rome, Amsterdam & Versailles; Domestic spaces: interiors & gardens; Epilogue: The Baroque & Rococo in theory.
