Baroque and Rococo
Author: Germain Bazin
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Art, Baroque
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were years when the arts of Western civilization reached their most varied and richest expression, when each of the European peoples invented the artistic forms best fitted to its own genius. In "Baroque and Rococo Art", Germain Bazin traces the multiple achievements of those exuberant and paradoxical times -- the wealth of masterpieces in sculpture, painting, architecture, and decoration that reflected the expansive diversity of Baroque and Rococo style. Baroque and Rococo styles and forms extended to and embellished virtually every aspect of European life, and M. Bazin has not overlooked any detail in this remarkable totality: tapestries, furniture, porcelain, pottery, and jewelry -- as well as the masterpieces of the fine arts -- are discussed in the text and shown in hundreds of faithful and luminous reproductions. His meticulously accurate, incisive survey reveals the almost infinite richness of a great period of European art history. -- From publisher's description.

Rococo
Author: Victoria Charles
Publisher: Parkstone International
ISBN: 1783103906
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Deriving from the French word rocaille, in reference to the curved forms of shellfish, and the Italian barocco, the French created the term ‘Rococo’. Appearing at the beginning of the 18th century, it rapidly spread to the whole of Europe. Extravagant and light, Rococo responded perfectly to the spontaneity of the aristocracy of the time. In many aspects, this art was linked to its predecessor, Baroque, and it is thus also referred to as late Baroque style. While artists such as Tiepolo, Boucher and Reynolds carried the style to its apogee, the movement was often condemned for its superficiality. In the second half of the 18th century, Rococo began its decline. At the end of the century, facing the advent of Neoclassicism, it was plunged into obscurity. It had to wait nearly a century before art historians could restore it to the radiance of its golden age, which is rediscovered in this work by Klaus H. Carl and Victoria Charles.
