Item description from seller

Quarto; hardcover, with upper board title; 321pp., with many colour and monochrome illustrations. Minor wear. Dustwrapper lightly edgeworn. Fine in a like slipcase. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. Gian Lorenzo Bernini was the greatest and most influential sculptor of his age. Endlessly inventive and gifted with extraordinary skill, he virtually created the Baroque style. In his religious sculptures he excelled at capturing movement and extreme emotion, uniting figures with their setting to create a single conception of overwhelming intensity that perfectly expressed the fervour of Counter-Reformation Rome. Intensity and drama also characterize his remarkable portraits and his world-famous Roman fountains. Rudolf Wittkower's classic monograph and catalogue raisonne has been the standard established work on Bernini since 1955. The concise but masterly survey provides an authoritative introduction to Bernini's work.
