Overview

Drawing on recent research by established and emerging scholars of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century art, this volume reconsiders the art and architecture produced after 1563 across the conventional geographic borders. Rather than considering this period a degraded afterword to Renaissance classicism or an inchoate proto-Baroque, the book seeks to understand the art on its own terms. By considering artists such as Federico Barocci and Stefano Maderno in Italy, Hendrick Goltzius in the Netherlands, Antoine Caron in France, Francisco Ribalta in Spain, and Bartolomeo Bitti in Peru, the contributors highlight lesser known ""reforms"" of art from outside the conventional centers. As the first text to cover this formative period from an international perspective, this volume casts new light on the aftermath of the Renaissance and the beginnings of ""Baroque.""

This edited collection of fifteen concise, tightly-argued chapters by emerging and established scholars, furnished with an editor's introduction, index, over seventy black-and-white illustrations, and thirteen color plates, offers a valuable contribution from an art historical perspective to the recent upswing of publications across fields in historical studies that critically reevaluate the impact and legacy of the Council of Trent and its declarations during the late sixteenth and early-to-mid seventeenth centuries. --Journal of Jesuit Studies
