The fifth and final volume of the only comprehensive survey in modern times of the surviving Italian frescoes from the Baroque era, 1600 to 1800, this groundbreaking work is an achievement in scholarship and publishing of the same magnitude as Abbevilles Art of Florence and Art and Spirit of Paris. "The fifth in a series of sumptuous volumes dedicated to Italian frescoes published by Abbeville, Italian Frescoes: The Baroque Era, 1600—1800 caps a triumphant finish to one of the finest set of artbooks that one might wish for. As lavishly illustrated as its predecessors, the present volume covers the whole of Italy, giving not only in situ contexts but also vivid details of frescoes one could never see at first hand. This is a gorgeous book! *****” -- Art Times "...Steffi Roettgens Italian Frescoes: The Baroque Era, 1600-1800 helps restore the good name of the baroque and impresses upon the reader the impact these works once had for a contemporary audience and still have for modern audiences today." -- Art Blog by Bob Roettgen’s comprehensive scholarship (and Stockman’s graceful translation) emerges as the treasure within the treasure of this volume... With this final volume in the series, you’ll discover new insights about one of the most astonishing and productive periods in Western art. -- NotableBookReviews.com "One of the finest set of artbooks that one might wish for... Gorgeous. *****" -- Art Times Following the success of the previous volumes in this extraordinary Italian Frescoes series — The Age of Giotto; The Early Renaissance; The Flowering of the Renaissance; and The High Renaissance and Mannerism — this new publication features twenty-five fresco cycles, each representing a notable achievement in the history of art. The fresco cycles presented include brilliant works by Domenichino, Sebastiano Ricci, Guercino, and Tiepolo — all of them still visible on walls and ceilings of palaces and churches spanning Italy from Venice to Naples. The authors present such celebrated sites as the Barberini Palace in Rome and the Pitti Palace in Florence, as well as lesser-known gems.
