Relics, Dreams, Voyages : World Baroque Hardback

Hardback

Pre-Order

Description

Relics, dreams, voyages is a closely focused sequence of studies of worldwide connections in all the arts in the baroque period.

Drawing on original research in libraries, collections, and archives in five countries, and in as many languages, this book draws many astonishing, unfamiliar and beautiful texts, things and events, into a cartography of the secret and strange patterns of baroque cultures worldwide.

The visual arts are examined across a wide temporal and geographical span, and many subversive iconographies are decoded: at the French and English courts, in remote Scotland, in Nagasaki, in Valladolid.

This books offers a new, extraordinary cultural geography of the baroque world, opening doors to many rich and strange cultural artefacts, from 'China to Peru.' -- .
