Baroque: Architecture. Sculpture. Painting by Rolf Toman

Almost 200 years of Baroque art are presented in striking images and thought-provoking text - capturing the theatrical pathos, illusionistic devices, and interplay of different styles that made 17th-century and 18th-century European culture extravagant, showy, and even pretentious. This is an in-depth study of moving works of art from various European countries that exposes the sensual beauty of these objects as well as their allegorical representation of religious beliefs.
Rolf Toman has worked as an independent art publisher for various international publishing houses for several decades. He authored and edited many acclaimed publications on art history and spirituality.
