About This Item
2003. 400pp with 200 colour and monochrome illustrations. Cloth 28x25cms. ISBN: 2850566470. Explores the impact of the Counter-Reformation and the Jesuit contribution to the formation of the Baroque style, when beauty of form and colour were viewed as vital tools of Catholic propaganda. Dynamic use of perspective and diffuse light effects were developed to suggest infinity and to convincingly depict the great spiritual themes of the Last Judgement, Heaven and Hell, and the lives of Christ, the Virgin, the Saints and Martyrs. Text in French.
