Description
Baroque and Rococo encompasses the German Empire as well as the Netherlands, England, France, Espin, and Italy. This highly expressive, almost effusive art epoch is explained to the reader by means of practical examples of painting, sculpture, and formal gardens that illustrate the new choice of motives that developed in the painting of the time.
