Summary:
Longtemps, le terme baroque fut employé pour décrire le style en lequel la Renaissance se serait désintégrée. Renaissance et baroque est le premier ouvrage d’histoire de l’art à envisager les choses autrement et à démontrer que le baroque relève au contraire d’une esthétique propre. Pour définir ses valeurs formelles, le jeune Heinrich Wölfflin va les opposer à celles du classicisme de la Renaissance. Il compare les oeuvres de Bramante, Raphaël, Peruzzi, Sangallo, Michel-Ange, Vignole, della Porta, Maderna, et s’appuie sur des exemples romains. À travers l’évolution des styles et des goûts dans la peinture mais surtout dans l’architecture des églises, palais, villas, fontaines et jardins, c’est l’expression de l’état d’âme de la société italienne des XVIe et XVIIe siècles qu’il révèle.

Summary:
Comme l'illustrent "L'École d'Athènes" de Raphaël ou "L'Apothéose d'Homère" d'Ingres, la Renaissance marque l'avènement de l'artiste, qui revendique désormais un statut intellectuel et social comparable à celui des philosophes-poètes. Mais le travail manuel reste au cœur de son activité : matériaux et pratiques artistiques sont engagés dans l'œuvre au même titre que la vision poétique. L'idée artistique elle-même ne naîtrait-elle donc pas aussi du maniement physique des outils et des matériaux ? Et l'architecture, semblant confinée dans une pensée isolée de la fabrication matérielle, pourrait-elle s'intégrer dans cette perspective progressivement admise pour les autres arts ? Les questionnements qui traversent ce livre invitent à une réflexion sur le rôle de la matière, des instruments et des gestes dans le travail artistique, mais aussi sur le dialogue qu'entretiennent les arts entre eux, favorisé par l'utilisation de matériaux communs, à travers une étude de quelques œuvres majeures de l'architecture de la Renaissance italienne.

Summary:
This publication offers the first comprehensive study in English of Baldassare Longhena (1598–1682), the indispensable architect of the Venetian Baroque. While Longhena's legacy is most visible in his iconic Madonna della Salute, the 17th-century basilica devoted to the Virgin Mary in gratitude for Venice's deliverance from the plague, and in the Pesaro and Rezzonico palaces along the Grand Canal, he created a plethora of other works over the course of a career that spanned half a century. Andrew Hopkins's thought-provoking text considers the full span of Longhena's illustrious career, from his monumental staircases and libraries to the palaces commissioned by private patrons and his projects for Venice's Greek and Jewish communities. This lively account is accompanied by more than sixty color and 300 black-and-white photographs commissioned especially for the book. A complete list of Longhena's work is included in an appendix.

Summary:
Though little known in the English-speaking world, Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach (1656-1723) was one of the most important and influential European baroque architects. The buildings that he designed for the emperor of Austria and his courtiers reveal an element of theatricality - an element that author Esther Gordon Dotson probes in this accessible and attractive volume. In his architectural designs, Fischer incorporated devices from ceremonial pageantry and scene design, controlled lighting effects, and a sense of dramatic progression in approaching and moving through a building. Dotson identifies these various elements in her close reading of Fischer's structures, and splendid new photographs, taken by Mark Richard Ashton, bring them to life on the printed page. The author guides readers in discovering the theatrical qualities in Fischer's buildings, illuminating their conceptual liveliness, variety, and drama.

Summary:
Based on archival, artistic, and architectural evidence, Stephen Bowd presents an innovative microhistory of a fascinating, yet historically neglected city. He shows how Brescian loyalty to Venice was repeatedly tested by a succession of disasters: assault by Milanese forces, economic downturn, demographic collapse, and occupation by French and Spanish armies intent on dismembering the Venetian empire. In spite of all these troubles the city experienced a cultural revival and a dramatic political transformation under Venetian rule, which Bowd describes and uses to illuminate the process of state formation in one of the most powerful regions of Renaissance Italy.
