Frits Scholten , Gudrun Swoboda - Caravaggio / Bernini : Early Baroque in Rome

Title: Caravaggio / Bernini : Early Baroque in Rome
Description: BE -, Rijksmuseum/ Hannibal, 2019 Softcover, 328 pages, ENG.edition, 280 x 240 x 30 mm, As Good As New, with colored illustrations of European art of the 16th and 17th century. ISBN 9789463887311. ¶ Rome around 1600: the cosmopolitan arena of ancient nobility, ambitious clergy, brilliant artists and brilliant scholars, but also a city of trickery, street fighters and prostitutes. In short, the stage of the Baroque. Key players on the artistic stage were the painter Caravaggio and the sculptor Bernini. They represent the new artistic impetus that allowed Rome to grow into the vibrant cultural heart of Europe. They represent the intensive interaction between painters and sculptors, and a new art that focused more than ever on portraying and evoking affetti, human emotions. An art of movement and feint, of drama and classical reserve, of jest, beauty and horror. This publication contains illuminating essays by international Baroque specialists and shows the many masterpieces of Caravaggio, Bernini and their contemporaries in all their glory. Never before has there been an exhibition outside Italy that brought together so many important early Baroque works.
