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 this long-awaited volume on Baroque and Rococo Art, Germain Bazin, Chief Curator of the Louvre Museum in Paris, traces the multiple achievements of those exuberant and paradoxical times—the wealth of masterpieces in sculpture, painting, architecture, and decorative arts that reflected the expansive diverseness of the Baroque and Rococo creative impulse.
