Ugly Baroque
19.99 €
How can a baroque be ugly? We remember the beautiful music of Vivaldi and Bach. Is she ugly? And Rastrelli's palaces? What kind of ugliness can you find in them? And Bernini's sculptures? And
Paintings of Caravaggio, the greatest Italian Baroque painter? Rubens paintings, which are considered one of the most expensive in the history of painting? Are they ugly? It wasn't always that way. Even less than a hundred years ago, the very concept of “baroque” was not even a style, but only a dismissive assessment and an indicator of bad taste – a negative nickname for “incomprehensible” art.

About how ugly became beautiful, how the Baroque style developed and what impact it had on world art, and will tell a new book by Evgeny Zharinov, opening a cycle of detailed studies of different eras and styles.
