Synopsis
In this popular account the author shows the reader how the uses of vivid color, dramatic light, line and illusion were achieved and helped to transform two centuries of European painting. We begin with Caravaggio in 17th century Italy and see how his dark drama influenced the court painting of Velasquez and Goya in Spain, Rembrandt and Rubens in the North, and Poussin and Le Brun in France. Rococo emerged from late Baroque as a French phenomenon. Its curving, playful eroticism and gay color can be seen here in the works of Boucher and Watteau, and later in the work of Hogarth in England. Sumptuously illustrated with 40 color plates and many black and white drawings. A book for art enthusiasts to share among themselves or with their whole family!
