Summary: Wittkower Wisdom
Comment: Rudolf Wittkower is a pioneer in the interest of Baroque art. He favours Caravaggio, the Carracci's and Bernini, to name a few.
This volume is one of three. Originally, all in one book it was more roughly 7" x 6" in size. Being 8.5" x 11" makes the reproductions bigger, but unfortunately, the majority are still in black and white or not there at all. Many works mentioned, are not included in this (or older editions). What good is mentioning a work of art, the reader is likely not to be familiar with, and have a hard time finding elsewhere? This makes the text, frustrating.
Starting with Rome in the first chapter, following with Caravaggio, the Carracci, Caravaggio's followers, Painting outside of Rome, and ending with Architecture and Sculpture. An introduction giving a brief biography of the author and enlarged bibliography has been added.
Wittkower is an important art historian and gives a comprehensive analysis of this time period which is essential for anyone interested in Baroque art. If it had all colour reproductions and included more of them, I would give it 5 stars.
