Story of Baroque Architecture
Focusing on the Baroque period, this book gives readers the tools they need to grasp the architectural language and building forms of this style. The book offers a general introduction to Baroque, discusses the characteristics of the style, and the commonly used techniques and materials. Part of a new, accessibly written, and generously illustrated series on architecture through the ages, this book features Baroque's most important architects, buildings and cities, interior and exterior photographs, detailed images, drawings, and plans.
The period is distinguished by complex architectural shapes designed to heighten emotion and dramatize experience. Originating in the late sixteenth century and continuing to the early 1900s, Baroque swept the globe, from Europe to South America. Buildings from this period are celebrated for their grandeur, intricate embellishments, and gilded statuary.
Renowned Baroque architects include Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Francesco Borromini, and Guariono Guarini.
