Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
The work of Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) has virtually defined the Baroque style in the visual arts. Bernini's famous Square of St. Peter's and Scala Regia at the Vatican transformed both locations into breathtaking theatrical sets, and Bernini's career featured a masterly integration of painting, sculpture, and architecture in one site. 280 color illustrations.
Review:
'''Bernini and the Art of Architecture' is particularly welcome because it synthesizes a large body of scholarly material into an accessible format. The author is skilled at unpacking Bernini's bag of tricks, and his text is matched by handsome illustrations, including original drawings and documents as well as Joseph S. Martin's photographs --which deserve special praise because they contrive to be evocative as well as informative. Throughout his long march across Bernini's career, Marder is in command of his subject even if he rarely allows himself the luxury of standing back from the case in hand to comment on the philosophy behind Bernini's architecture....a sumptuous book that places Bernini's buildings back at the center of his art."
