This long-awaited publication, is the second in a proposed series of three titles co-published with the Detroit Institute of Arts. It presents 17th and 18th century Italian paintings from one of the world's finest collections of European art, which come together for the first time in one volume as a major addition to existing scholarship on Italian art of the Baroque age. This book presents nearly 70 paintings in color, and over 80 comparative illustrations provide vital art historical context to the featured paintings. The range and scope of the works presented in this volume is truly impressive, from the ruggedness of Salvator Rosa's landscapes and sweeping gestures and visual richness of Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo to the dramatic shadows and relief of Gentileschi.
A major study of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Italian art
