Excerpt from A History of Art, Vol. 2: Later European Art, With Chapters on Oriental Sculpture and Painting
The reason will be apparent if one remembers that in the first volume the time covered was more than four thousand years, and that during those forty centuries one people succeeded another as a great world-power, whereas the period here treated is only about four centuries, and by the beginning of this period the chief nations of Europe, although all more or less directly inheritors of the same Hellenic art, had begun to develop distinct characteristics, artistic as well as political.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the evolution of Italian art from the early Renaissance through the Baroque period. Beginning with a discussion of High Renaissance architecture in Rome during the early 1500s, the author examines its development and spread throughout Central and Northern Italy, especially in Venice with architects such as Sansovino, Palladio, and Scamozzi. The text highlights important works, including St. Peter's Basilica, the Palazzo Farnese, and the Villa Rotonda. It also notes the emergence of the Baroque style in the early 17th century and its influence on architecture and the visual arts more broadly. Through analysis of significant buildings and artistic movements, the author provides valuable insights into the evolution of Italian art during this transformative period.
