Produktbeschreibung

Retrieving the term 'baroque' from the margins of art history, where it has been sidelined as 'anachronistic', scholars from a range of disciplines reconsider the usefulness of the term 'baroque'. This book attempts re-engagement with the term 'baroque' - its promise, its limits, and its overlooked potential - in relation to the visual arts.
