Description

Between Renaissance and Baroque: A Study of Jesuit Art in Rome, 1565-1610 by Gauvin Alexander Bailey This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the original painting commissions of the Jesuits in Rome, providing a unique perspective on the development of Italian painting in the late 16th century. Based on extensive archival research, Bailey explores the stylistic trends that emerged after the Council of Trent and their impact on devotional art. The study sheds new light on several key works, including the reconstructions of Jesuit churches and the original decorations of the church of the Gesù and the Collegio Romano. Bailey's analysis reveals the ways in which artists responded to the religious climate of the post-Tridentine period, resulting in a critical transitional period between Renaissance and Baroque. Through its detailed examination of the paintings and stuccoes that adorned Jesuit foundations in Rome, this book provides a fascinating insight into the artistic and intellectual climate of the time.
