Abstract

La période baroque s'étend du début du XVIIe siècle au milieu du XVIIIe siècle. Réponse des artistes à l'exigence de grandeur solennelle prônée par l'Église catholique de l'après concile de Trente, l'art baroque, par sa monumentalité et son emphase, séduisit les grandes cours européennes. L'architecture est, sans aucun doute, parmi les arts, celui qui laissa le plus de traces dans toute l'Europe, parsemant le continent de magnifiques églises et palais baroques, à la hauteur de la puissance de ses commanditaires. Le Bernin, pour l'école du Sud, et Rubens, pour celle du Nord, représentent à eux

Abstract

The period of the baroque (late sixteenth to mid-eighteenth centuries) saw extensive reconfiguration of European cities and their public spaces. Yet, this transformation cannot be limited merely to signifying a style of art, architecture, and décor. Rather, the dynamism, emotionality, and potential for grandeur that were inherent in the baroque style developed in close interaction with the need and desire of post-Reformation Europeans to find visual expression for the new political, confessional, and societal realities. Highly illustrated, this volume examines these complex interrelationships

Abstract

In post-1991 Macedonia, Barok furniture came to represent affluence and success during a period of transition to a new market economy. This furniture marked the beginning of a larger Baroque style that influenced not only interior decorations in people's homes but also architecture and public spaces. By tracing the signifier Baroque, the book examines the reconfiguration of hierarchical relations among (ethnic) groups, genders, and countries in a transnational context. Investigating how Baroque has come to signify larger social processes and transformations in the current rebranding of the co

Abstract

Existem ou existiram cidades barrocas? Essa é questão basilar que o presente livro pretende responder. Para isso, o autor desenvolve uma investigação que tem como fundamento a averiguação da hipótese que assegura que o mesmo espírito que tomaria de assalto o mundo ocidental em todo o século XVII e na maior parte do século XVIII, contaminando a arte, a arquitetura, a literatura, a música, o teatro, teria igualmente alcançado a configuração visiva das cidades. Apontando para a atualidade do estudo crítico da História da Arquitetura, constrói-se a narrativa passando pelo sentido da “Urbanística Barroca”, na França e em Roma, e, posteriormente, frente às grandes contribuições dos mestres do Barroco italiano, discutindo o fenômeno da cidade barroca através da leitura do espaço e suas relações com os monumentos que compõem o drama barroco. O trabalho também aborda de maneira diferenciada como o fenômeno da cidade barroca se manifestou na produção da cidade brasileira setecentista, analisando particularmente Ouro Preto e, na América Hispânica, a cidade de Cusco, com todas as suas similaridades e diversidades.

Abstract

In this book, Eugene J. Johnson traces the invention of the opera house, a building type of world wide importance. Italy laid the foundation theater buildings in the West, in architectural spaces invented for the commedia dell'arte in the sixteenth century, and theaters built to present the new art form of opera in the seventeenth. Rulers lavished enormous funds on these structures. Often they were among the most expensive artistic undertakings of a given prince. They were part of an upsurge of theatrical invention in the performing arts. At the same time, the productions that took place within the opera house could threaten the social order, to the point where rulers would raze them. Johnson reconstructs the history of the opera house by bringing together evidence from a variety of disciplines, including music, art, theatre, and politics. Writing in an engaging manner, he sets the history of the opera house within its broader early modern social context.

Abstract

This book investigates baroque architecture through the lens of San Gennaro's miraculously liquefying blood in Naples. This vantage point allows a bracing and thoroughly original rethink of the power of baroque relics and reliquaries. It shows how a focus on miracles produces original interpretations of architecture, sanctity and place which will engage architectural historians everywhere. The matter of the baroque miracle extends into a rigorous engagement with natural history, telluric philosophy, new materialism, theory and philosophy. The study will transform our understanding of baroque art and architecture, sanctity and Naples. Bristling with new archival materials and historical insights, this study lifts the baroque from its previous marginalisation to engage fiercely with materiality and potentiality and thusunleash baroque art and architecture as productive and transformational.

Abstract

'Baroquemania' offers a new account of Italian post-unification visual culture through its entanglement with the Baroque. Interrogating the Baroque's fraught afterlife in the work of Giorgio de Chirico, Armando Brasini, Lucio Fontana and others, the book reveals its role in crafting a distinctively Italian approach to modern art.
