Capt. Sterling Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 see www.vandashop.com then click on book of the month Baroque: Magnificence & Style (Book of the Month) (Published April 2009 - available to pre-order) Michael Snodin & Nigel Llewellyn, eds code: 094340 Price: £37.00 AVAILABILITY NOT YET PUBLISHED - available from April 2009 DESCRIPTION Please note: This book is available to pre-order and is due in April 2009. The complexity and sophistication of Baroque art, developed through the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, could be understood as an attempt to move, arrest and overwhelm the viewer with beauty. Taking examples from all media and genres, this book is a comprehensive exploration of this emotionally powerful and geographically pervasive style, tracing its development from Rome, centre of Papal and princely power. Carefully selected and rarely seen objects from public and private collections illustrate traditions of ornament, performance and visual art, while stunning spreads examine how churches and palaces became showcases for the pomp and splendour of Baroque art. Michael Snodin is Senior Research Fellow in the Research Department at the V&A. His V&A publications include Design and the Decorative Arts: Britain 1500-1900 (with John Styles, V&A 2001) and Exploring Architecture (with Eleanor Gawne, V&A 2004). Nigel Llewellyn is Head of Research at Tate.
