Description
Caravaggio and Bernini: Early Baroque in Rome
This book explores the artistic revolution that took place in Rome in the early 17th century, a period marked by significant innovation and collaboration among artists. The work of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio and Gian Lorenzo Bernini is examined in depth, alongside that of other prominent painters and sculptors who gathered around them.
The book delves into the artistic language that emerged during this time, known as Roman Baroque, and how it was shaped by the cultural and artistic exchange between Rome and Europe. With over eighty masterpieces featured, including paintings and sculptures, this publication provides a unique insight into the birth of this influential art movement.
