Between the decline of Italian Mannerism and the rise of Neoclassicism, during a period of about 200 years before the start of the 19th century, European art passed through an age of unparalleled richness and grandeur known universally as Baroque, which is the subject of this book. Germain Bazin, recognizing the complexity of his subject, makes no attempt to reduce it to an artificial unity. Rather, as he says, it was an age rich with all the potentials of Western artistic culture.
