"What were the most important paintings done in France between 1650 and 1700? While Picasso was working on Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, who was making the most important paintings, sculptures, and buildings in the United States? Key Dates in Art History from 600 BC to the Present provides fast, accurate, pictorial and factual reference in the history of Western painting, sculpture, and architecture. The book functions in at least four different ways. Firstly, the reader can discover within any one period the parallel developments in various geographical areas. Secondly, the pictures reinforce the idea of period and style. Thirdly, the accompanying chronology of social historical and art historical events enables the reader to place the art history in a wider context. Fourthly, a comprehensive index of all works of art and artists mentioned allows the book to be used as reference from particular to the gerneral period and style."--Publisher's description.
This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Baroque Art and Architecture contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography.

Genoa completed its transformation from a faded maritime power into a thriving banking center for Europe in the seventeenth century. The wealth accumulated by its leading families spurred investment in the visual arts on an enormous scale. This volume explores how artists both foreign and native created a singularly rich and extravagant expression of the baroque in works of extraordinary variety, sumptuousness, and exuberance. This art, however, has remained largely hidden behind the facades of the city's palaces, with few works, apart from those by the school's great expatriates, found beyond its borders. As a result, the Genoese baroque has been insufficiently considered or appreciated.0Lavishly illustrated, 'A Superb Baroque' is comprehensive, encompassing all the major media and participants. Presented are some 140 select works by the celebrated foreigners drawn to the city and its flourishing environment. Offering three levels of exploration-essays that frame and interpret, section introductions that characterize principal currents and stages, and texts that elucidate individual works-this volume is by far the most extensive study of the Genoese baroque in the English language.00Exhibition: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, USA (03.05.-16.08.2020) / Scuderie del Quirinale, Rome, Italy (03.10.2020 - 10.01.2021).
