Baroque Sculpture In Germany And Central Europe 1600-1770
Auteur(s) : Marjorie Trusted
Around 1600, a new style of sculpture started to evolve and flourish in Central Europe and in the German-speaking lands. Dramatic wood and stone figures peopled the palaces, gardens and churches of Munich, Berlin, Dresden, Düsseldorf, Vienna and Prague.
These great works of art are little known outside Germany and Austria, partly because their colour and vivacity are so astoundingly different from the sculpture that was being produced in Italy, France and elsewhere in Northern Europe at that time.
This book, the first in English devoted to German Baroque sculpture, examines the history of these works, which are among the greatest European creations of the 17th century.
