Baroque Art
The Baroque period lasted from the beginning of the seventeenth century to the middle of the eighteenth century. Baroque art was artists’ response to the Catholic Church’s demand for solemn grandeur following the Council of Trent, and through its monumentality and grandiloquence it seduced the great European courts. Amongst the Baroque arts, architecture has, without doubt, left the greatest mark in Europe: the continent is dotted with magnificent Baroque churches and palaces, commissioned by patrons at the height of their power. The works of Gian Lorenzo Bernini of the Southern School and Peter Paul Rubens of the Northern School alone show the importance of this artistic period. Rich in images encompassing the arts of painting, sculpture and architecture, this work offers a complete insight into this passionate period in the history of art.
Baroque Painting in Genoa
Genoa was a fabulously wealthy cosmopolitan municipality in the 17th century, with a rich and diverse artistic tradition. Nourished by a range of commercial links with other European cities, its rulers and citizens built sumptuous palaces and churches on the strength of the wealth generated by the Genoese bankers who came to dominate international finance. From about 1600 to the early-18th century the large patrician class, composed of wealthy and educated patrons, vied with one another to commission the most beautiful and lavish altarpieces, paintings and sculpture.

Baroque Painting
Yellow Series: This historical survey describes European painting's Baroque era, which extended approximately from the 1680s through the mid-1700s.

Paolo de Matteis
This volume represents a long overdue reassessment of the Neapolitan painter Paolo de Matteis, an artist largely overlooked in English language scholarly publications, but one who merits our attention for the quality of his work and the originality of its iconography, as well as for his remarkable ability to respond creatively to his patrons? aesthetic ideals and agendas. Following a meticulous examination of the ways in which posterity?s impression of de Matteis has been conditioned by a biased biographical and literary tradition, Livio Pestilli devotes rich, detailed analyses to the artist?s most significant paintings and drawings. More than just a novel approach to de Matteis and the Neapolitan Baroque, however, the book makes a significant contribution to the study and understanding of early eighteenth-century European art and cultural history in general, not only in Naples but in other major European centers, including Paris, Vienna, Genoa, and Rome.
